Nice first PC effort. Lots of wetness and depth and reflectivity. :xyxthumbs

DEEP & WET
NIce Job. Care to comment on your procedure for some of the noobs. Speed, Pressure, Time in one spot, Product quantity... you know all the basic stuff. I've noticed several members who post with frustration concering the use of their PC, so some infomative advice, I'm sure, would be appreciated by all.
Awesome work,
JJ

washed with NXT wash
Whilst washing i clayed the car
Then dried with a Pakshak waffle weave towel
For the polishing i had the pc on speeds 4-5
Then applied #80 with green sonus pad (this didnt seem to remove all defects so
I then applied #83 with an green sonus pad ( again this didnt seem to remove all defects so
I then applied the #83 with orange sonus pad, this worked well at removing defects (but is harder to use as pad flexes less) so i did the whole car with orange, i did a quarter panel at a time, i used about 4 small blobs of 83 and worked it in with light pressure (remember to put the pc on start up or you get polish all over you/car/grass LOL), moving the pc back and forth, side to side, then at various angles, i worked it till most of the product had gone, i then removed with a pakshak microfibre cloth, it came of quite easy.
I then moved onto #80 with a green pad, this worked well, and i worked it much the same way as i did the 83, really do like the 80 as a finish.
I then applied coat of NXT all over with a sonus blue pad, and removed with a pakshak microfibre cloth, this left the car with a darker/more reflective finish.
Thats about all i did, although the day after i put an extra topping of nxt on by hand, which seems to have helped the finish.
Whilst i think about it does anyone recomend a carnuba/synthetic for a car my colour ??, i mtried a bit of p21's but it didnt seem to improve the finish so i didnt do further panels.
