first time using the pc.. first time using RC & glaze.. i use to do my polishes and wax by hand..

this is the main reason I went ahead an purchased my PC (Lowes $99)

my mothers rav4 paint was nasty.. there was no reflection in the hood.. ? it must have been something that the body shop did because this car has had front end damage in the past..



but yea.. the paint was horrible.. look :(



well even though it was my first time.. i think i am starting to get the hang of it..

propel pads.. (thnx patrick @ excel)



3M RC Fine - Orange (speed 3,5)

3M Finesse It (speed 3,6) Green then Blue (speed 3,6)

Hand Wax with Meg Gold Class..



in conclusion.. very worth the investment and it was a great learning experience.. and improvment over what it was :)



the hood was the worst (pictures speak for themselves).. and through out the car it just had some light oxidination..



its like micro orange peel on the clear or something :( - btw its not the camera focus.. as you can see the wipers are focused.. before

imageshack.us free image hosting even gives you the HTML code to copy and past just picture size cant be over 1 mb

i actually do think the first one is the focus though maybe it was having a hard time focusing on the reflection? cause in the other pics it looks like a more defined reflection

still looks good because its clean and shiny
 
i was just lookin at ur speeds u can bump it up to about 4.5 then when u got to polish it off right at the last kick it up to 6 with just the weight of the PC to polish it off really nice
 
3 to spread the polish, 4 1/2-5 to work the product, and 6 to make sure the product is completely broken down and to buff to a high gloss.
 
koo.. i'll give it a shot next week when the weather clears :)



working progress pictures..

the lower part is being worked on.. the top is untouched..

I don't know. It almost looks like some stubborn oxidation might be left over. Try the suggestions that were previously given and lets see what's left after that.
