[QUOTE="BLK_03, post: 3121837, member: 10256"] It depends on the condition of your paint. Is the car HEAVILY swirled or scratched??? If there are just light surface imperfections, I would say skip the 2.5. I am not familiar with the Poorboys or Optimum "kits" as you say for the porter cable. I just picked up a porter cable from lowe's, got a backing plate for 6 inch Lake Country pads, and went to it. I prefer Lake Country pads over Propel pads (these are the only two I have tried). The Propel pads fell apart. Get a white pad (light cutting) black (polishing), and blue (finishing) pad. Optimum polish on the white pad (speed 6). Optimum polish on the black pad (speed 6). Then whatever you want from there. I use Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze on a blue pad (speed 4). Then carnuba wax by hand. Others may chip in for better combos on Sonic Blue, but by all means, I would start with the Optimum with the white and black pads. If you find the optimum isn't cutting the scratches or swirls you have, get an extra white pad and some 2.5 to use before the Optimum. You may have to work the Optimum a little longer on the areas where you use the 2.5 to remove the micro marring (evident by the pics I posted above). [/QUOTE]
