OK, so I fianlly decided to try the PC because using #2 and #9 by hands just doesn't do any good for my car.

I am going to buy a PC 7336, how should I use it? Should I use it with fast motion and heavy pressure vs slow motion with light pressure? I saw a lot of threads regarding how good PC are but no one really say anything about how to use them effectively.....:confused:
 
I think Meguair's has an instructional video at their website.



Griot's also has printed instructions that suggest doing 2' squares while maintaining a figure 8 motion.
 
before you go for the 7336, I would check out the 7424 with bonus kit that coastaltool is offering. just a heads-up.



cheers

Should I use a figure * or the overlap motion? And should I use water to mist the pad? Some said it helps to spread the product and other said it make the product more aggressive?
 
The motion (figure 8, overlap) isn't really very critical, the PC is so mild it doesn't seem to matter. Just try to cover all areas evenly.



Go slowly, and press down on it if you need to. You're gonna find that it's not as aggressive as you might expect.



The method on Griot's instruction sheet is pretty overkill, IMO. Let alone with the mild products and pads that *they* sell.



BUT...I suppose it pays to err on the side of caution here, too.



*I* don't mist the pad, but some people do. I just saturate the pad with product (not too much, just enough that it's not a dry pad).
