I just bought a PC 7424 for my Jet Black E92. As I have never used a PC before, I have been trying to learn the proper techniques by reading the threads here and watching detailing videos on You Tube. So my questions:

1) Is there a fool proof way of knowing when the polish is broken down enough to do the wipe down.

2) Can you break down the polish too much and thereby damage the paint?

3) Do all polish look the same when broken down (i.e SIP, 106ff, Zaino ZPC etc)?

As I was stupid enough to buy a Jet Black coupe, I want try to avoid doing more damage to the paint than good...Thanks in advance for your comments.

It will flash meaning it will go almost clear or translucent.


2) Can you break down the polish too much and thereby damage the paint?

If you break down the polish it will dry up and start to dust. It will not damage the paint, but it will be a pain to remove and it will dust like crazy.

3) Do all polish look the same when broken down (i.e SIP, 106ff, Zaino ZPC etc)?

All polishes have a different flash times, but they do look similiar
