So I used my MT300 properly today for the first time on a friends pretty heavily oxidized and swirled up 2008 Hyundai Sonarta. Did a wash, dry and clay using QD as a pre-requisite. I took off a lot of contaminates from the car.
I did notice though that if i applied any pressure on the MT300, it would only oscillate and not spin.. Only when i gave it hardly any pressure would it spin... I was under the understanding that for swirl removal, about 15lb of pressure should be applied and it needs to spin... I was on the 2nd from highest setting speed wise...
I was using a 5" backing plate and the 5" Meguiars maroon pad, with Ultimate Compound. It really did come out nice.. After giving it a few passes with hardly any pressure (thus spinning the compound in) I guess there were still some light swirls in the bright sunlight, but it looked a million times better than it did before i went to town on it... I finished off with a ULW.
Advice on the spinning / pressure for paint correction please. If the surface was completely flat, i could add more pressure and have it spin, but how many panels are there on a car that are completely flat? No many...I remember seeing a video (on a different DA Mike Phillips was using, mentioning, that if it wasn't spinning, then it wasn't removing the swirls.) Hence my post.
Thanks in advance.
