Heather,
I got your Prima Package a few days ago and started DA Swirl last night on a Light Silver 06 Rover. (I am a seasoned forum reader, but a Noob to detailing)I am using a GREEN LC CCS foam pad with a G110 DA (borrowed both)...I think Green is between Orange and White. It is working fine. However, since this is the 1st time I have DA polished, I am not sure if I am doing it totally right. After polishing an area for 3-5 minutes, the Swirl is very hard to remove with a DRY Micro. If I use a quick detailer, like Last Touch by Mequiars, it comes off fine. (I have Slick, but didn't want to waste it
)
In any instruction I have watched on-line, after the polish is broken down, it "looks" very easy to remove with a dry micro towel. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. Swirl seems very, very sticky to remove. Am I breaking it down to little or too much? Or is this normal for Swirl? It seems to me that Swirl never really breaks down to a clear or very translucent color, indicating breakdown, even after 3-5 min on speed 5. I have only done the Roof and the Hood for now, and that took 3+ hours...(Lot bigger than my Mini) The results are
very satifactory, but the removal of the left over Swirl residue seems too hard.
Also, I am NOT doing FINISH since SWIRL and Green pad seems to have done fine and left no hazing or micromarring and I have A.D.D. I will probably do AMIGO with a white CCS pad, even thought it is a light, bright silver...just to fill in any missed fine marks. Then EPIC witha Black or Blue CCS LC pad. I think I do have a White and Black flat LC too..should I not use the CCS style on the rest of the detail? (OG rocommends FLAT, doesn't like CCS)
Thanks for your help.
