1st time using poter cable
Yesterday I used the pc for the 1st time. 1st I washed and clay bar the car then used Adams fine scratch and swirl remover with the orange pad then went to polish with the white pad all from Adams. Still have to put on the speed wax. I know silver is a hard color to see the deepness in the paint but so far so good .
Oh yeah, I decided to put the red out line on.

I was scared to death to use it on my EB Z, but just decided to dive in one afternoon. Turned out great, and is a breeze to use. With today's car care products designed for orbital buffers, it's almost impossible to screw your paint up, just pay attention to what your doing!!
Mine turned out great, but there are a few little scratches I need to spend some extra time on.

Most will suggest a two step polish with a medium grade polish and then following up with a lighter finishing polish. Menzerna, Meguairs, and Wolfgang are some of the best and you'll find alot of praise in the car care section of the forum. You can then certainly use Zaino to protect the hard work and results.
