I`m in the process of starting a mobile business - right now I`m still working on getting a license, ins., flyers, business cards, website, etc.. In the meantime I`m trying to learn all I can while practicing my techniques and product use. Thanks to forums like Detail City I`m gathering a wealth of information. I think detailers helping detailers is very healthy for the industry and I look forward to the day when I will be able to offer advice likewise. Anyway, I just bought a 2000 Expedition (gas guzzler but rides like a cadillac) and figured I`d practice using my new PC. The truck had a lot of swirling in it although I wasn`t able to capture them very well with my cheap digital. After washing it I used DACP with a yellow Edge pad and set the PC to 4.5. I had some black paint showing up on the pad but I figured that meant it was working. It was leaving the surface somewhat dull so I followed up with machine glaze and topped it off with PS. I would have used #9 after DACP but I didnt have time. I spent the majority of my time wiping off the haze - is this normal? Anyway, my swirls are gone - at least I`m hoping I removed them and didn`t just hide them. Here is what it looked like afterwards.
