PC Question

I have a decent amount of "spiderweb swirlmarks" on my CR/W MINI. I have a PC that I bought from Detailers Paradise and used the yellow pad. It doesn't appear to have done much so I am wondering if I did something wrong? I used Prima Swirl also....

What speed setting is best?
How many passes over the same area is best?
How much product do I use on the pad?

Thanks in advance for the responses and help!!!!

DVD

Echo. If you spent the money on the products, spend the time with the DVD, otherwise its all a waste.

+1! Not trying to jump on the band-wagon, but, it's a really good DVD!

Yes you really should buy OG's how to use a PC DVD. It will make you feel much more confident in using a PC for the first time. It is for sale here in the NAM store
