We'll I just got my PC last Friday, and since I was off of work on Monday, I figured Monday would be a good day to Wax my truck. The previous week, I posted on MOL that I wanted to try #9, #7, #26. It seemed to go over well so I thought I should go with it. I went to my local store to pick up a couple items.
I will tell you that I was a really nervous about using my PC for the first time, on a black truck. I've been a Meg's user for about 6 months, but I have worked by hand using the DC line (DC1,DC2, and GC Wax). I was very happy with the results, my truck's finish looked 100 x's better than 98% of the cars out there, all done by hand. But I knew I could get better results with the PC.
So I started at 9:00 am on Monday. I 1st washed my truck with GC Car wash. Now before I go any further I wanted to take some before and after shots, and I could not find the camera any where. I called my wife and found out she had the camera in her car from the previous week, and she was at work. I debated on scrapping the project, since what's a good wax job with no pictures, right? But I knew the opportunity would never present themselves like they did on this day. The weather was about 70 degrees, my wife was at work, and my kids were at Grandma's. I couldn't pass it up, so I said "Go for it". And I proceeded!
Following Steps were taken:
Washed - GC Car Wash
Clayed - Quick Clay
Cleaned - #9 Swirl Remover
Polished - #7 Show Car Glaze
Waxed - 2 coats of GC Wax
After all the steps were completed I took a step back to look at my work.
I swear the truck was glowing! I had never seen my truck like this...
So then my wife get's home (it's a little after 5:00pm) so I new there was about 15 minutes of sunlight. I quickly get the camera out of her car, and take some pictures.
After I had taken my first picture, I checked to see how it looked on the screen. I looked good, so I moved back to get a good front shot, and you'll never guess what happens next. The battery died on my camera!
I rushed in to charge it, and wouldn't you know it takes 4 hours to charge. SO I tried numerous times to turn it on after 5 minutes, and no such luck. So I had 1 picture, and that's all I was going to get.
I waited about 30 minutes, and it finally charged enough to turn on and snap a few pictures. But by this time the sun was gone. I turned on the low light/night vision on the camera to take a couple shots, but it made them really blurry. But I'll show them to you anyways. I was able to get 2 more pictures before the camera died again.
Sorry for the blurriness!
Other than the camera thing, I really loved the great look Meg's allowed me to put on my truck!

. I have a couple of questions for you... Was the PC easy to use, and did you know how to switch PADs, or did someone explain that to you before you bought it?
