My PC is DEAD??

Sounds like the motor decided to take a VERY early vacation. Good news though, you're still under warranty.
If it were mine, I'd start by trying to get it taken care of by the store where you purchased it. If that fails, the PC warranty should take care of the matter. You can find your nearest PC service center by clicking here.
Good luck. It's a bummer but things like this do happen occasionally.

From posts I have read here and elsewhere, Costal will screw up your return and you will be SOL.
Make sure you get names, etc., and make sure you get an RMA authorization for your return of they will deny they ever knew ANYTHING about it. I would also ship it with a signature required upon delibvery.
Good luck!

Rockpick,
I am using the supplied 6" hook & loop backing plate and Lake Country pads

Jaymz,
I will do that. Funny you should mention a RMA #....I asked the guy on the phone and he said "nope, just send it in and we'll take care of you".

I am even wondering whether or not the 6" plate with a 6.5" pad is too big?
I wonder if you would be able to put more pressure on the PC with the smaller pad and not "bog" it down as easy??
I used #80 this past weekend on my sisters mini van. It did a great job.....just SUCKED finishing one rear panel, full rearend and the roof by hand, not to mention removing 1 coat of MPPC and two coats of NXT.

BC,
The 6 1/2 pad with the 6" backing plate should be fine. It sounds like you are one of the very few that have had a problem with one.......... but it happens.
The PC will only take just a bit of pressure before it bogs down. I would advise that you apply the very least amount of pressure, and "don't" bog it down much. Let the PC, pad, and product do the work. I also find that most people move the PC way too fast. Just barely keep it moving, and work a small area (2' x 2') in a kind of cross-hatch pattern.
Hope you get it taken care of without too much hassel.

Seriously though, I've been showing a couple of people how to use the rotary buffer, and the PC. With one it's "KEEP IT MOVING", with the other it's "SLOW DOWN"!

I think what you said over at MOL is dead on as well... a 2'X2' section should take a couple of minutes to complete. If you start getting much faster than that, then you're not allowing the product/machine to do it's work and may ultimately just mar the surface rather than correcting the surface blemish.
I think the 'canned answer' approach is a very good one and, in fact, we've been working on some of those over @ MOL. Just seems like a lot of the same questions get asked/answered over there. With a 'canned' variety, the consistency is high and, ultimately, it looks better from a company standpoint in my opinion.
Hey BC, I know there was some talk about having a clinic over in Jersey but, I don't know whatever came of that. How long of a drive is it for you? Also, please note that most of the 'one-day' clinics never touch a rotary...

Rockpick,
Jersey is still too much of a haul. I think I saw that post over on MOL. I would still be interested in a PC clinic tho....I am still far from being a Master of the PC. I have found a wealth of info on the PC and products usage over at MOL.
I just mailed out my PC to Coastal w/signature request. The shakes should really set in tomorrow.....Christ, a week without the PC....
