Hi ourbail,

When using the G100 Dual Action Polisher to remove defects, (This is different then merely applying a polish or a wax because you're trying to remove paint), you need to use a slow arm speed and overlap you passes by 50%. You also want to go in at least two different directions, for example, from where you're standing, side to side, then front to back. You can also move the polisher in a kitty/corner fashion for complete, thorough and uniform cleaning action.

Only work a small area at a time, this will vary according to the shape, curve or body line of the panel you are polishing but for example on a large flat panel, you want to stay around a 12" to 18" squared area. The point being, don't try to work to large of an area all at once or you won't remove the defects equally everywhere.

When you move on to a new section, overlap into the old section for a uniform end results.

When it comes time for applying a pure polish, or a wax, (besides cleaner/waxes like ColorX if you're doing a one-step), the you can polish larger areas and spend less time, i.e. use less passes.

The point of the cleaning step is to remove the defects. Because the G100's polishing action is gentle and therefore safe, it takes time to remove small particles of paint in an effort to remove a defect.

If the below image represents swirls and scratches evenly distributed throughout your car's finish,



Then you can see that in order to remove the defects you need to remove the highest areas of the surface until they are level with the lowest depths of the deepest scratches. In essence, you must remove paint.

Hope this helps...

Yes I can't wait to order it and try the new toys out...I thought the NXT applied by hand was amazing but from what I hear I'm expecting even better results. Even considering trying the clay, then Deep Crystal Polish or #9, then 2 coats of NXT on my girlfriend's car too... Thanks you guys have great advice

Just bought a PC at Lowe's today. Under 120 after tax, but I have to buy pads, bonnets and a backing plate. Going to use it on a black 01 Stratus sedan and a 04 grey Ram. I will try using the DC 3-step since that is what I have on hand.
