Question Porter Cable 7424 What speed for waxing?

Just got a PC7424.
What speed should I set for applying wax?
What speed for buffing?

I appreciate your input.

Wax at low speed, ~3-4, to get nice even coverage - thin coat.

Buff at higher speed, say 5...

Speed Guide attached. Go to Autopia for detailed usage advice.

p.s. not sure where you're located but you want at least 60 degree air temp to get a decent wax finish.

Yeah...I also ordered the lambswool pad and microfiber bonnet.
And you're right....the bonnet fits perfectly over the foam pad that is included with the PC.
The bonnet doesn't fit quite right on the lambswool pad.
