It know it says for rotory use, but can this be used effectively with a PC? I'm looking for a one stepper for dealer cars. Currently I'm doing #80/#83 w/ rotory when needed/#80 w/ PC/#21. It looks good, but, it is for a car dealer not a collector car owner. For what it's worth, they had their lot boy take a wool pad/rotory/compound to the owners black Saleen and everybody said it looked "great". My process takes a long time and time = money. I still want my details holigram free which is why I'd rather not one step with a rotory. I've also never used #66.

M66 is perfectly safe to use with a dual action polisher, in fact it makes a great one-step approach for detailers who want to clean, polish and protect in one step but don't want to instill swirls by using a rotary buffer.
Just remember to tape off any black plastic trim first as it will turn white on this material if you cream over it with your pad. (By hand or machine).
If I were to go back into detailing full time, I would use M66 with a dual action polisher for one-step detail jobs and M80 Speed Glaze followed by a wax for a two-step approach for daily drivers where the goal was to make them shiny but not invest the time and energy required to do a proper rotary buff job. -
Is it ok to use #66 in the sun? Obviously not 90 degrees but 70s.Comment

I've been using #66 on police cars for about a year now. Since the city won't pay for a 2 step, I use #66 instead. I would like to top with some sort of spray sealant to give them more protection being that I only wash and wax them every 6 months.Comment

Sure, but it's probably a good idea to wipe the wax off after it has dried and not leave it on too too long...
For example, buff the hood first then buff the rest of the car and then go back to wipe off the hood. Cleaner/waxes typically dry pretty fast. As long as your skill level is up to par and you are using a quality wipe off cloth, something with a nap... you shouldn't have any problems.Comment

Thank you for your reply Mike.Yeah, I'm using microfiber towels to remove the wax. I'm also not letting it sit too long. Pretty much as soon as I'm done with the car, I go back and remove the wax.
What kind of durability can I expect to get from #66? The police cars are kept in an underground parking structure, but they do get beat up.Comment

Thanks Mike! That's going to save me at least 45min-hr per car!Comment
