I recently bought a PC 7336. I've been waiting to use it until I get some pads and polishes. I recently ordered the following from Properautocare.com:
* Klasse AIO & SG
* Menzerna Get Acquainted Kit (Intensive Polish & Final Polish II)
* Pinnacle Souveran (Came w/Pinnacle Clay Kit for 1 cent more, $39 clay kit)
* Hi-Gloss Pad Kit w/ Backing Plate (1 Orange Power Pad, 2 White Polishing Pads, 1 Red Finishing Pad)
*Misc items like: Blackfire Gloss Shampoo, Triple Duty Detail Brush, MF wash mits, & Power Pad for applying clay with PC

My order was supposed to ship out a week ago but apparently there was a error with their computer system and the order didn't process. I should receive the items late this week.

Anyways I have some questions regarding a few of the products.

On the Properautocare.com site it says not to apply Souveran over Klasse SG because "Waxing over High Gloss Sealant Glaze can produce hazy patches or ghosting". But I thought I've read on this forum that it actually produces a outstanding finish. Has anyone ever tried this, if so what kind of results did you get. Was it done on a dark colored car?

Also my 02 Maxima has noticeable swirls in the black paint and a few minor scratches . Do you think I should just try the Final Polish II first and see how it works, if so do you think I should use the standard white polishing pad or maybe try the orange power pad? I'm a little hesitant to use the Intensive Polish on my 02 for fear of unnecessarily removing clear coat. Is that something to even worry about when using the Intensive Polish with the PC? Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Also on my 02 SE it looks like the pin stripes were removed by the previous owner and where the pin stripe started and stopped on each body panel there seems to be glue or extra clear coat build up. (See pics below) Anyone ever seen this? My guess is that it was there to help prevent the pin stripe from peeling up. Do you think this is something that will buff off with a polish or is there any other way to remove it or make it less noticeable?

I'm definitely excited to try the PC on my 94 SE and 02 SE. I will also be using it on my girlfriends 02 black Accord. In the past I've always just applied a Meguiar's Deep Crystal paint cleaner by hand followed by Meguiar's carnauba wax on my 94 SE. I always thought it looked pretty good. But I'm sure after using the products I ordered with my PC it should be a big step up. I've only owned my 02 SE for about 2 months so I haven't even polished it yet.

I will definitely post some before and after pics of both cars when I’m finished with the PC. I plan on cleaning my 94 SE first for some practice, then moving on to my 02 SE.



(They may look like scratches in the pictures but they are not)

 

In your case, use the standard white pad with Intensive polish. This will give you enough gusto to remove the swirls. Make sure you put the PC at 4.5 - 5.5. The orange pad is more aggressive and may introduce marring into the finish. Then use a gentler pad and follow up with final polish. After Final Polish, use a finishing pad with AIO. After the AIO, top with SG and then let cure.

As for topping SG with Souveran, I have done this on my Charcoal Pearl '94 Maxima and didn't see any of the effects mentioned. If anything, I saw a deeper finish on my charcoal colored car.
