Starter with Porter Cable

[MINIz guy]

Well, I just recently bought a Porter Cable and pad kit (two white pads and two gray pads and two microfiver bonnets) on eBay for $138 with their 25% cashback. I also have Zymol Cleaner Wax and Meguiars NXT Wax.

My process with be this.

• Wash
• Clay
• Zymol first with the white pad
• Meguiars finishing with the gray pad
  
  

My reason behind this is that the Zymol is said to have some cut and gloss in it, so I will use that to get rid of some swirls. Then, I will move to the Meguirs with no cut but only gloss. Is this correct?

Also, since this has barely any cut, would it be right to work in the wax like I would with a polisher? I'm thinking something about Speed 3 with fast passes instead of working in the wax and going slow.

Whit a Glaze pad and the Porter Cable, I usually set my speed between 2-4 and pass over the surface with moderate speed for liquid wax or a paint sealant. I'm still old school when it comes to paste wax and do it by hand. There is no need to "work in" the wax, unless it is a cleaner wax. Coverage is the key here.

Alright, thanks for the tips!

I will work in the Zymol in with the white pad, and just pass over with Meguiars on the gray pad.
