I just cant seem to get it!

[Newguy]

So I have been practicing on my car with my PC with M105/M205 with the white LC pad and orange LC pad. I started with the white with M105 and there still seemed to be swirls. Then I used M205 with orange pad and there seemed to still be swirls. Do I need something stronger? I really want to get this down so I can add it to my mobile detailing list. but I still dont have it down yet. Thanks for any help

Re: I just cant seem to get it!

Have you tried m105 with the orange pad? That would be your best combination for the best cut.

Make sure to go slow and go up and down until you finish a pass and then side to side. To both of them a total of 6 times so that would mean 3 and 3 of each. Make sure the area you are working with is no greater than 18X18 at the maximum. Set you PC at 5 or 6.

Thanks I shall try that. I read that you should apply atleast 15 pounds of pressure is that true?

15 pounds of pressure. Yes it is true.

This may sound silly. Bring out your bathroom scale. Place the machine and exert some pressure. This way you get the feel for what 15 pounds should be. It does work.

Like maximus stated the orange is the cutting pad while the white is a polishing pad.

Turn them around and you should be getting great results!

I see you are from California....If you are in SoCal, you should attend one of the Saturday classes at Meguiars in Irvine. You will get instruction from the best.
