Re: Need some advice using porter cable and M84!!!

Might be out of the loop on this thread.. was that last pic after the #80 or #84 with PC?

Sorry Mat, I forgot to write it. Here is the revision:
PICTURE #2: Taken after polishing the section in PICTURE #1 by applying M80 using PC.
Speed: 5 to 6 , Pressure: 15 - 20 pounds
The result: swirls has gone but there are still some very light scratches left behind.
Thanks..

There are two things you will have to look at going forward:

1. Is #80 still leaving some marks behind, will a second pass clear it up, etc.

2. Will #80 be what you want to start off with on a new area, or will #84 still be needed on a new area first.

Answers:
1. Yes it leave a little marks after first 6 section passes. Need to do 1 more 6 section passes and the mark is gone on the #1 picture.
2. I've tried using M80 only on the new area and the result is there is more marks left behind compared to the #1 picture, so I need to do 2 more 6 section passes to make it perfect.
On the #1 &#2 answers there is still a verly little deep scratch left behind which cannot be removed by M80, but it is still be the perfect result for me.
So yhe conclusion is M80 can really remove swirls and light scratches on the paint but it cannot completely remove the deep scratch on the paint. M80 works really well, so I think everyone should do with these M80 for the beginner because it is very user friendly in my opinion.
I'll update soon with the final result photo.
Thanks Mat.

Not sure what you mean by 6 section passes? Do you mean you apply the product to one area 6 times? Like apply, go over the area some, apply again, go over the area, etc?

Or just apply once, and go back and forth six times?

But as long as you are happy with what you are seeing, and the effort needed, good.

About section passes, I do exactly like in this video

I'm happy with the result and now I'm still searching Collinite 854 for waxing. Many told me that 854 is brilliant. What do you think about Collinite 854 on Solid Black.

Re: Need some advice using porter cable and M84!!!

Ok, so that is pretty good then, just one application of product and 6 passes with it. A second application of product wouldnt be unheard of.

And I havent used the Collinite myself.

Jefri, you've gotten great advice from some folks and you seem to have the technique down pat.

My wife and I washed our cars yesterday and I used some M80 on some areas of her car that had been repainted after an encounter with a deer. My PC has a sweet spot of 3.25 where there is a click stop on the speed dial and this speed has fewer vibrations and runs reasonably smooth.

This speed produces a nice reflective finish when using light pressure and slow arm speed.

The other thing I remembered, since I hadn't used M80 in awhile, was not to use too much product and don't let it dry. Using too much product is a waste and makes removal time consuming. Even being cautious, I was using multiple microfibers for removal.

Anyway, if you have spent a lot of time with M80 and followed the advice given by the wise ones on the list, you're an expert by now.

Like Murr, I can't give you any advice about Collinite, but I can tell you every Meguiar's liquid wax I've tried looks great on black and that would include M21, Gold Class, M26 and Ultimate Wax.

Hi David, Until now I still cannot finish the detailing because of my work. And I got sick too, maybe because I'm exhausted (I do the detailing until midnight from 07.00pm-11.30pm and at noon I have to do my real work)
Anyway I've bought Collinite 845 but have't used it yet and the advice from the wise ones including you help me much in solving my problem. Thanks David. Great people here on MOL.
