today, i heard from this guy that you cant use a pc on black cars and apparently it leaves swirl marks for sure, and i have to get 3M black polish for black and red just by hand or some crap... :shocked



anyone heard of this stuff? and they are the only ones who make it?

Oh man that PC has really messed up your paint. I see big white blotches of bad swirls....oh wait those are clouds :chuckle:



I have a similiar pic of my black GTO that I have used a PC on.

I can't seem to perfectly fix the paint on my buddy's black rsx...but it definately takes swirls out. What does it take to get a flawless finish, slammin86? Your black is INCREDIBLE.

He still has some very tiny swirls in his paint...do I just need to work longer and add more polish?

Nest time you see him give him a good slap to the back of the head. And never trust any thing he says again.

Dude did you restore that car yourself?



Do you hang at turbobuicks.com or one of the other Turbo Regal/Grand National Sites?
 
What a PC can and cannot do, IMHO, depends largely on the polishes one uses.



Polishes made to break down with the heat of rotary will not work as effectively with a PC because it doesn't produce that kind of heat.
 
lol thanx alot for the pics and all the jokes guys, guessing the company big heads tell their peasants that this wont work so buy this etc etc and the word goes to retailers. holy shiat intercooled, that finish is ****ing amazing. wat pads and polishes and wat sealant/wax?????
 
I have been a lot more careful with my black car than other colours with my PC, only used polishing pads and mild products.



Meguiars Speed Glaze - Polishing Pad

Autoglym Super Resin - Polishing Pad

Clearkote Red Machine Glaze - Finishing Pad

Poorboys EX, Clearkote Carnuba Moose Wax and Souveran by hand and my black car looks the best ever has.

Virtually all the polishes talked about on Autopia work beautifully with a PC. :bigups

Thanks for the compliment. It takes lots and lots of time :hairpull but well worth it in the end :woohoo:
 
i've have had great success with my pc once i finally got my pads and polish dialed-in. i guess people hear things and spread rumors. my first experience was not the best, but i continued to experiment until i figured it out.
