No longer a PC virgin

So today I tried out my X-Mas gift (7336SP) for the first time. I started with a wash, then spot clay bar, and began with Optimum PS using a white pad. Took about 2 hours I'd guess to tape everything and complete the whole car. After that I applied Natty's Blue using a green pad and removed with MF towels. That part went by pretty quick. I can still see some swirls, so I think next time I will use my orange first; I just didn't want to start with something too abraisive (I read other's posts).

Thanks to all for giving me advice, especially Stogie for giving me the link to those demo videos - it's one thing to read about how to do something and way better to actually watch what the hell I'm supposed to do before I do it.

OK. you knew this was gonna happen . . . .



You did the right thing, start with the least abrasive and then work your way up. On your next go around try using OP or OC with an orange pad to remove the swirls and then follow up with PS with the white or finishing pad....
