OK, I have just purchased the Porter Cable and Menzerna's poilshes with the Hydro tech pads. I have SIP, 106 FA and 85 RD. My goal is to remove some swirls & light sctraches from the decklid of my black C6. I've never used a PC before, I've watched the videos and think I have a handle on it. I guess my biggest question is how do you know when the polish is broken down to stop buffing and wipe it down (want to avoid hazing!)? I may just try the 106 FA with a tangerine pad and see how that does. If no improvement there, then I guess I will go with the cyan/SIP, then tangerine/85 RD. Welcome any tips/advice! Thaanks!

Menzerna breaks down into lighter finishing polishes and are rather user friendly. Try not to overcake (too much product) pads. Most the time you will notice the polish change from a liquid paste to almost a talc or powdery look as it flashes.
