Exceptional look as a matter of fact. Start with a clean dry surface. Using a white finishing pad spread the product on speed 3 (putWP on the surface and the pad) then go to speed 6 for a short time until WP almost disappears. If you go to 6 and it slings product slow down to 3 and work it some more. It may take a panel or two togetthe knack for it.You can feel when you have worked it enough. Wipe it down with a microfiber towel and proceed. It is called burnishing the finish and the look will knock your tallywacker in the dirt!

Thank you RTexasF. I had a feeling you'd answer . By the way, will wp do any correction if a cutting pad is used?

Yes and no. It will do correction with a rotary and a wool pad. In all honesty I haven't tried it with a PC or Cyclo. It's worth a try with an orange or yellow pad for light correction.

Thanks for your time. I will do the white pad and pc this week. If I give the orange pad a shot onmy girlfriends vehicle I'll let you know how it went.

They do make wool pads for the PC and I have some. I've only used them as backing for a microfiber or terrycloth bonnet thus far. If I've got heavy correcting I break out the Cyclo and an abrasive polish.

You are welcome. Keep the pressure light on the PC, you want as much rotation as possible when burnishing. Smaller pads work even better allowing more rotation.

I have some 4" lake country on order. Expect them tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll try them. Thanks again for the advice.
