What speed on a Groits DA is recommended for applying POXY????
its really not that crucial...... 4-5 on average and you will be fine, no matter what you are doing. waxing or cutting
spead on four, polish or wax on 5
Doing it BIG!
i usually apply it around 1-2. just play around with the speeds to find out what you like.
Try working it in, (any wax/lsp) instead of just spreading it. May give you longer protection. I use speed 3 or 4.

I`m more of a speed 4-4.5 guy for LSPs, as long as that doesn`t result in any flash-off issues, but I don`t want to cause issues if (might oughta just say "when") I try the Poxy.
Thanks guys!! I tried a number of different speeds with the POXY and ended up settling on 3 with 5.5" pads and 2.5 with 4" pads. Thomas--I was glad to see you recommend working it in as I found myself making 3 or 4 passes on each section--partly because of old habits from applying LSPs by hand for so long and partly because I was using it as practice time with the GG DA since this was my first time using it for any length of time. I did forget to do all the passes in the same direction as suggested on the 3D video so I hope I didn`t compromise looks or durability.
When I tried higher speeds the POXY seemed to be flashing but perhaps this was because I was doing so many passes.
I put the POXY on over an existing coat of DG105 applied in October and it gave my lighter metallic paint (VW GraniteGreen) a nice deep look and it did a great job of darkening the black plastic bits in the grill.
My 5.5" pads are 3Ds and my 4" are Buff and Shine and I must say (as a beginner) the Buff & Shines were a pleasure to use-- with the recessed Velcro I could get up close to my roof rack (car is a Passat Wagon) and mirrors without fear of causing any damage.
That was POXY specific, but on the GG PC 4 is pretty good. Something like 1000 or other waxes, I may use speed 5
I am watching TopP`s thread but in this weather under rain, 1000 lasts much longer.Originally Posted by Accumulator
Thanks for the reply, and yeah, the GG does everything better at that speed than my old PCs, especially with a ~6" pad.Originally Posted by thomasdekany
When you say "work it in" do you mean use a slow arm speed or do you mean make multiple passes? Excuse the simple minded question, but applying LSPs with a GG DA is new to me.

Time permitting I treat it like I’m using a finishing polish by slowing my arm and machine speed with 2-3 overlapping passes which ensures I have good even coverage and helps get Poxy into the pores of the paint for better bonding (Well that’s what I tell myself anyway ) Although I do believe it helps with the finish and longevity.

Thanks!! I do appreciate your help!!
