PC Use and Tips on the F150
First off I just wanna say that I AM aware of PC HOWTO from GuruReports on general use of the PC and it's accessories.
i.e. this website
http://bimmer.roadfly.org/bmw/forums...1430487&page=1
What I want here are some good tips on PC use on the F150 body style (i.e. how to buff around the windshield washer nozzles on the hood, how to stay away from putting wax on the bed rails, getting wax into the little nooks and crannys of the roof slots/channels, what speeds to use for specific job types, how much force do you need to apply when waxing/buffing vertical body panels, how to stay away from putting wax on badges, etc..)
I'll be firing up my PC for the first time this weekend (after I get some practice on my girlfriend's car
) and will plan on putting my second coat of NXT on my SuperCrew. I will be using a PC7336 with Meguiar's 5" backing plate and the assortment of Meguiar's 6.5" foam pads.
Thanks for the tips in advance,
TonyPTX

Great thread. I too have just purchased the PC and will be using it on my wife's black Explorer. I do not think its necessary to use the pc to apply nxt. I personnally would only use it to with products designed to remove scratches and marring. The NXT applies so easy by hand I do not see the benefit of using a pc with it.
I have also read where you can use 3M scotch tape (or whatever that stuff is they use to tape up before painting) to cover the washer fluid ejectors, badges, etc...

Sure I could have fired up the PC and went at it, but is there anything wrong about asking for some time saving tips...
Edit...removed a comment that really shouldn't have been posted in the first place.
Everyone has a question they'd like to ask and it never hurts to ask for advice...
