What Speeds??

What speed should i use with MENZ IP and NANO? Is faster better? Thanks

 

On what?

 

Menz IP I used at speed 5 for slightly longer working time but I got impatient and used speed 6. That might've melted my backing plates so be wary of the temperature of your machine lol

Speed5/6 IP

 

Speed 6 if you are talking about using it on a vehicles paint.

2003+ Volkswagen Paint...

Okay cool, so Faster is better?

 

With a pc and polishing you need speed 6. Also 5.5 or 4 inch pads also work best with the pc for paint correction.

 

So Bigger than 5.5 is no good?

 

You are not going to get very good paint correction with anything bigger than a 5.5 inch pad.

 

+1 I only use 4" pads for correction on the PC. It doesn't take THAT much longer.

 

oh okay cool, Thanks guys.... I am goign to get sone 4" Pads...

 

What is wrong with the 6.5 pads? And if you guys aren't using it for paint correction, what are the 6.5 pads good for?

 

I would apply the polish on Speed 3, then work it in using Speed 5/6.

Quick Question: What are the RPMS on the different speeds on the PC?

 

maybe appliying LSP? like glaze or selant? you have more control with smaller pads. i have both size pads but still using 5.5 pads. gona start using 4 soon i guess for pain correction since it will be easier to manuvr around curves and less product will be wasted

 

Flex/PC/UDM I polish on the fastest speed - which is 6. As far as fotary, I wouldn't goo that far.

 

I am using 3-4 speed the spread out P203 in one pass, then working in speed 6 until the compound is broken down, and fianlly reduce the speed to 3-4 to burinsh the paint.
I use the same process for orange and white pad.
Almost 90% of swirl marks and light scratches can be removed using an orange pad with one pass, and become perfect after 2 passes.
I usually follow up with a white pad even though I don't see a significant difference. So I'm doubting the need of using a white pad.

 

Wow...I've been using 4, maybe 5 on the PC for that first step cleaning and polishing, then like a 1-2 for LSP...this with a 6" pad too. But, this is on some paint in pretty darn good shape. I just posted another thread looking for info on what you use to judge or pick a pad diameter. Wonder what my results would be with a 5.5" pad and some faster speeds???

 

You're results would be twice as good.if not better. Just hearing your technique, I would question the amount of pressure you.are using as.well.

 

I too am switching from the 6 inch pads to 5.5 low profile pads. Like others have stated the smaller pads make for easier and faster correction and the low profile put less load on the machine, which should also assist with correction time.
