Little help with porter cable!
Hey guys, I'm sure these questions have been asked a million times, but I need to ask again .
My porter cable polisher should be here any day now and I want to make sure I have the steps down right.
Is this how I should do it...
1. Wash car.
2. Clay bar (maber wash again)
3. Oange pad with Menzerna.
4. White pad with Poorboys.
5. Wash car to remove dust.
6. Meguiars NXT mabe with porter, or might do this by hand, not sure yet.
Are there any steps that I'm missing?
Also any tips for a beginer with the porter cable, this will be the first time I use one. I will probably go and get a cheap pad from pep-boys and practice on the beater until I get comfortable using it.
Any help would be great!

I got it from a forum sponsor, Detailed Image. I got the porter cable, 2 orange pads for heavy swirls, 2 white pads for light swirls, the 2 polished they recomended, and then 1 pad to try with wax. They are located in Albany, so the shipping only takes about a day!
Also are you registered over on G35nyc, you should register over there, or sign up for the meet on the 14th here!

Also it works great, I'm very happy with how well it polishes the paint!
Also thanks Detailed Image for getting me this so fast, and helping me to decide just what products I need.
