So1o question

[Dibbuz]

I hope anyone can shed some light on the following:

On a workshop last year Sven (head of Meguiar's Belgium) demonstrated teh So1o system. He began with the yellow wool pad on a small section, after making a few "lanes" he stopped, replaced the wool with the diamond foam pad and buffed on on the residu that the woolpad left on the paint (he added no new product).

I can't find that way of working anywhere on the poster inside.
To me it says to first buff with the woolpad and then the foam pad with a fresh bead of product.

What is the right way? Or are both ways good?

Re: So1o question

Meguiar's places a lot of importance on working clean, that means a clean shop, a clean floor, and a clean surface. Everything should be as clean as possible to remove any possibility of swirls caused by dirt.

When machine buffing with a rotary buffer, normal and recommend procedures would be to buff a panel with a pad and product till the goal is accomplished and for the next buffing step, wipe any spent residue off the surface before buffing again with either the same pad or a different pad.

When finished with one step and the residue is wiped off so the surface is clean, then you would add fresh product before advancing in your process.

Also, remember to clean your pads often.

Have not heard from anyone internal if this is a recommended or acceptable method of using the Solo System, but we will send the link to this thread to a few people and ask for clarification.

Jason Rose, whose in charge of our Professional Line just sent this via e-mail.

One of the tangible benefits of a one liquid system is the elimination/minimization of cross contamination between compound residue and polish residue on the surface and/or the pad.

Thus, buffing the 2nd step right over the residue from the first step is OK with the SOLO System and the new PRC One Liquid Solution…

So Sven was perfectly fine in the manner in which he was using the M86

Re: So1o question

Thanks Mike! I was at that workshop when Sven showed us that method, I tried it myself, because at first I was a little skeptic.
Worked great, remove the defects with the whoolpad, if the defect isn´t gone yet, apply more product, but never buff till dry, then when the defect is gone, get the foam pad and buff the residue. Result was great, no buffer marks!

Thanks for clearing this up Mike!
