How long to work your PC 7424 with MIP in a 2x2 area?

[c6this]

Hey guys havent posted in a while but here goes nothing,

I would like to know if I am using a wolfgang orange cutting pad with Menzerna Intesive Polish and my PC7424 set on speed 6 with 2 lines of the polish on the cutting pad how long should I stay in that are aprox? I cannot tell if the product is getting too thin..........and I cannot tell if it is dusting or what not.. I just need a round about time you should stay in the 2x2 area? Also how long when using the white polishing pad and MFII in a 2x2 area on speed 4?

The reason I am asking these questions is because on my black z06 corvette I still have swirls and some fine fine scratches, what am I doing wrong? I use the correct microfibers and I use Zaino as well Is there any way on a black car not to have swirls??????????????????????

It depends... Here are the stages IP goes through when worked with a PC.

Time will vary - temperature, humidity, speed, speed of movement, pressure, pad & paint all play a factor on "how long to work the polish in". You need to know what the polish looks likes when it's brokendown so you don't under or over work the polish. This is why good lighting is important!

Here is what I do with any new polish I use for the first time ·

* Using a 1'x1' section - apply the polish the same as any other polish
* using little pressure and speed 4.5 - 5 work the polish in.
* At each change in the polish I remove a section and see how the paint looks
* repeat at each change until very little or no hazing is present (this will very depending on the abrasiveness of the polish).

The reason for speed 4.5-5 and little pressure is, it goes through the stages slower so you can determine when it's brokendown without under or over working the polish. Now you know what it looks like when it's brokendown you can increase the speed, pressure, etc. to get the job done.


Good Luck
