#9 with PC?

[Blr123]

Never used #9 just wondering if there were tips about it?

Planning to use #80, #9, #21 then spit polish using #16 all by PC, it's on an Audi TT.

Thanks

If you can use #80, you'll have no problem with #9. How are you going to spit-shine with a PC?

Thanks Setec

This is how I plan to spit ans shine using #16 and 4" pads: -

Apply wax to panel 1, spritz with a detail spray, leave

Apply wax to panel 2, spritz with a detail sray and leave

Repeat for panels 3 and 4

Return to panel 1 and re wax (I don't buff off first but this is a good option) until spray droplets are almost invisible. leave

Repeat for panel 2

Buff panel 1

and so on!!!

Hope that makes sense

I have never heard of such a process. Interesting, is there an "idea" behind it or just another way to wax a vehicle?

Just another way gb................although I'm told it does really bring out the paint leaving a shine like no other

I'll let you know with pics.........assuming the weather here improves eh

The idea behind spitshining is that it prevents additional/subsequent applications of LSP from disturbing/compromising the existing ones. It seems to work best when used to effect multiple applications in a limited timeframe. It only seems to work with carnaubas.

I sometimes use this method with #16, primarily when applying multiple "coats" in one session. I get fairly minimal benefits when I use it to apply additional layers during separate detailing sessions, but there is sometimes a difference in beading (spitshining makes for more spherical beads).

I don't wait (after spraying) as long as Blr123 is proposing, I worry about the detail spray reacting with the existing layer of wax. Actually, I'd probably consider just using chilled distilled water unless the detail spray and #16 have proven to be compatible.

Thanks for clearing that up Accumulator ...........I might try the chilled distilled water aswell
