Just got a porter cable last week and managed to get a 15 year old mit lancer rear bonnet for test for my PC before using on my car..... quite fun and easy to use i would say but makes quite a lot of noise.... i managed t try it with different products mainly,menzerna IP ,Optimum Hyper compound, optimum compound, optimum polish.....

 

Below are the steps i took on the oxidized bonnet and pics:

 

1) Menzerna IP w/ orange pad at speed 5 on half the bonnet

2) Optimum Hyper compound w /orange pad at speed 5 on the other half

3) Optimum polish w/white polishing pad at speed 5 on the whole bonnet

4) JW prime w/ grey color pad at speed 3

Results: Managed to restore glossiness to the bonnet and remove the oxidation but there are still water etched marks on it that could not be removed....

hi bros here, would like to ask you if the borsch GEX 270 would produce a similar result as compared to the porter cable ? or between the 2 which machine u think is better in terms of performance ?

 

i undrestand that the PC is roughly from 2500-6000 n the borsch is from 7000-12000. in detailing would low speed of the PC be needed ? higher speed would be needed to remove tougher imperfections?

Porter Cable is a brand for random orbital polisher/sander. Its just like a brand like Dewalt, Bosch, Black and Decker
