just picked up a PC, Meguiars pads and Meguiars mirror glaze and was thrilled with the results. i have tryed to apply the glaze by hand before with out good restults but when applied with the PC the results were amazing. Besides the glaze i clayed, polished and waxed.

Congrats! I love the third pic! That's how paint should look like!

What products, pads, and speeds did you use?

Great results! Once you have a PC you will never give it up.

the products i used were
1. Meguiar's wash n' wax
2. clay magic
3. autoglym radiant wax polish @2500 rpm
4. Meguiar's #7 @2500 rpm
5. autoglym liquid hardwax 1 @3000 rpm

Are my speeds correct?
I cant wait to try out more Meguiars products, i will be attending the class next month!

2500rpm? maybe 2500opm. What setting is that?

[grndc2gsr]

I have my PC set half way between 2 and 3. Is this a good speed?

[wetlook]

Oh! I get it now. By my calculations, each step and half a step on the PC's speed dial is as follows:

"1" is 2500opm (orbits per minute)
"1.5" is 2850opm
"2" is 3200opm
"2.5" is 3550opm
"3" is 3900opm
"3.5" is 4250opm
"4" is 4600opm
"4.5" is 4950opm
"5" is 5300opm
"6" is 6000opm

2.5 (halfway between 2 and 3) is ok for applying waxes and sealants. You may want to use 4.5, 5 when using a polish.
