Ordered my Porter Cable today I ordered my PC yesterday from tropi-care along with some other goodies. So now im wondering what the process should be when I recieve it? I have the TC-8 swirl cutter and the TC-3 polish coming along with TC carnauba paste wax. So would it be...
TC-8 with the orange pad
TC-3 with blue pad
The carnauba wax by hand
Does that seem right? Any suggestions or tips?
EDIT: I just found a thread from 2005 that helps alot...

prior to the TC-8
I love my PC from Tropicare, I'm going to post a write up when I'm done 
I wouldn't use more than setting 6 though. 5-5.5 was my sweet spot for working... 6 was hectic and started to rip one pad

make sure you prime the pad prior to using the TC-8 by giving it a couple of squirts of the detailing spray.. it will cut way down on the dusting ..
