I'm going to pick up a Poter Cable 7424. Meguiar's recommends a yellow pad with M80 Speed Glaze followed by a tan foam finishing pad with NXT Tech Wax.
Question 1. I'm sure Meguiar's sells a good pad. Any other recommendations?
Question 2. If I understand what I've read, the Glaze/Wax is applied with the PC7424 until it hazes or disappears, and any remainder is removed by hand. Is this correct?
My goal: My 94 polo green coupe C4 has good paint, but I've got swirl and many light scratches that can only be seen in the right light. I hand wax lightly every wash, (daily driver is washed weekly, especially during rainy season). I want to remove the swirl and scratches and expect to leave only the few scratches that have penetrated through the clear coat.
Questioin 3. The road dust in South Florida is very, very abrasive. My father says because the roads are built with crushed limestone. Should I wax the roof panel with a good carnuba was to protect it? (I think yes). Should I polish it? (I think no).
Question 4. I read praises of Zaino on the form, but I've also seen Zaino mentioned as a hand application only. Does anyone use Zaino with the Porter Cable?
Thanks in advance, any recommendations appreciated.
