          Its 3 stages.

          Stage 1:
          Orange Pad and Fine Swirl Remover 1 (Heaviest cutting pad and liquid)

          Stage 2:
          White Pad and Fine Swirl Remover 2 (Repairs damage causes by the 1st stage)

          Stage 3:
          Black Pad and Carnuba Wax (Obviously, seals and polishes the shine back into the paint)

              Since I'll be paycheck less for 5 weeks after next week I'll do yours for some monies haha. Or let you do it yourself and just throw some monies for the 7424xp and the polish stuff. Haha.

                What I did was XMT #2 with an orange pad

                XMT #1 with a white pad,

                Then followed up with finishing glaze,collinite, and liquid souvern.

                Thats how you should of done it..

                XMT you want to work down not up

                  XMT is the stuff I used, when I did it on the car, I did go #2 then #1 then wax.

                          Now it says to strip the wax off the car first by using blah blah. I was always told dish soap would strip wax off a car. Now could you strip the wax off with dish soap then apply the XMT system then do that 845?

                            TJ what rpm does your 7424xp run at? Ive never used one but want one more and more when I see the results you guys post.
                            1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 - 6 Speed

                              Um. There is 11 speed settings. 1 - 6 and you can set it between. So 1, 1.5, so on.

                              With no load its suppose to be 2500 - 6800rpm.

                              Heres a response from AutoGeek forum though.

                              Speed 1-2 Wax
                              Speed 3-4 Spread polish / Work in light finishing polish
                              Speed 5 Compound / Polish
                              Speed 6 I don't use much, but used for heavy removal.

                              I put the compound on the pad, spread it, use setting 3 to evenly coat the surface, turn it off switch to speed 5 to complete it.

                              You can adjust the speed while its running but I prefer not to.
