Part 2 - How to remove swirls, scratches and water spots using a Porter Cable 7424XP Polisher

but it works

[kendo411]

instead of working on a small portion just work on 1 panel at a time but make sure u r consistent. As u get better u can do alot more at once but consistency is key and ur experience, gear, etc. etc. Take baby steps and then move on.

Kind of... when using a DA Polisher you don't want to tackle to large of section at one time, it's actually faster to work a small section at a time.

Mike, I've noticed you use this Porter Cable DA buffer in a lot of your videos. Is this your personal favorite for all around use? If not, what brand and model is your "go to" machine for your own use?

I'm thinking of getting the Pinnacle and twins kit, but in the kit it comes with the 1 orange pad, 1 white pad and a grey pad, and i see in your vid you use a red pad, so are the grey and red pad comparable enough to each other that I could expect the same results? Oh and will just 1 of each pad be enough to do a mid sized suv?

When I say "bring up the pressure", I meant "lessen the pressure"

Dear Autogeek,

Could you say what type of foam pad you're using from the beginning of this video? I was checking online and saw there are different types of foam pads(light cut, polishing etc) so I'm confused as to which one is used initially for removing the swirl marks as you're using in this video.

Thanks for a reply.

@GTnumber1

That's a CCS light orange foam cutting pad.

is it me or is the speech about a second and a half behind the video?

[design4all]

Mike, thanks so much for posting this video. I've learned alot and I hope my results are as good as yours once I start using my 7424. I have some AutoGlym Supreme Car Polish I bought a few years ago that is no longer sold, but would like to use. Do you think this product will be effective in removing swirls? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Love the vid. I've been making some of the classic mistakes you pointed out.

Thanks Very much.

do you recomend the meguires or porter cable polsing machine?

[chriscoleman102]

How often should you buff your car for swirl removal?

[autogeek]

@chriscoleman102

As often as you need or want to, it's kind of up to you. The more important point is to try to wash and maintain your car's finish in such a way as to not put swirls back into the paint after you've removed them.
