I will be tackling my fiancee's 2006 Pontiac Solstice today. The car is only a month old and I've done nothing but wash so far.





Should I avoid applying products via the PC and do it by hand? Is it ok to use the PC and polishing pads?



Anyone have any tips for new cars? I just want to make sure I don't use too much process.





Thanks!!

It will be fins using the Pc and polishing pads. You might even have to if the dealer induced a bunch of free swirls for you. LOL However, if the car doesn't have swirls I would just use a very light polish and a soft pad on the PC.
 
I would invest in some clay also. Might as well start with a clean surface. It is process and prep that make the shine. You will be very happy with the PC. Have fun and post pictures.
