[QUOTE="Nacho98, post: 928337, member: 15363"] Is it just me or is it annoying as hell how easily the PC bogs down when on speeds 4 or lower? Sometimes it pretty much bogs down under it's own weight when putting on glaze or sealant. It's especially annoying when you are on a vertical surface and pretty much almost have to pull it off the car a tiny bit in order for it to keep spinning. The other annoying thing is if the side of the pad so much as barely touches another angle of the body at a low speed, it bogs down. I realize the PC is designed to bog so you don't burn the paint, but there's no way you're going to burn the paint spinning some sealant on at speed 3 with no pressure. I think it's great at high speed, but I think at low speed easy jobs like glaze and sealant you'd almost be better off using a plain old rotary. EDIT: To make my gripe worth your time, here's a few pics from my winterization I finished up Wednesday (EZ Creme, 2 coats of Jetseal 109, and 2 coats of Pete's 53, interior got the usual treatment + Fabric Guard on all the carpet...will put stock floor mats in when the snow flies): [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6045/6345318705_fcef28a0a6_b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6056/6345319345_416a265f44_b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6240/6346070148_4047185e1a_b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6108/6345320785_af3362de85_b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6047/6345321057_36edba61f9_b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
