Click to expand... I have my own secret ways which I'll keep to myself, but I will ensure there is no silicone masking anything. Porsche paint is little more technical as it can be very sticky. Pointers I will say: Make sure the paints surface is perfectly clean of contaminants before the rotary even touches it. Know your polish and pad combinations for your cars paint to get the optimum finish. Make sure you ipa in between sets to ensure the perfect finish. Compounds & polishes like to say there silicone free but they can never be trusted. Refine the paint in products best suited to paint colour and type. These small pointers will ensure a perfect finish on your vehicle whatever colour and type.
