Hi everyone
I spent lots of time reading in this forum, and recently decided to get my hands dirty and up my game with detailing.
Hopefully you could get me in track and on budget for a good set up (Polish, Sealant and Wax).
For now, I got many things that confuses me with polishing.
It would be nice if I could get answers for the following questions:
Q:Is there a difference in shine or quality given from polishing compounds? I mean if there isn't any fillers in them. Would brand A be a better then brand B, or for polishing part would any cheap brand do it for me?
Up till now, I was doing things through my hands and soon enough I'll be getting my self a polishing machine. My experience with Turtle polish and couple of others cheap brands were merely a waste of money with no gain. However, Turtle rubbing compounds is the only one the was able to remove scratches and I notice a difference with it. I presume, it was because I'm applying it with my hands instead of a polishing machine.
Q:So for a polishing machine which polish or rubbing compound do you recommend (or shall I reuse my current polish/rubbing compounds)?
I'd appreciate if you give your polish recommendation in the following manners:
1- Heavy duty scratches:........?
2- Light scratches:..........?
3- Finishing polish:.....(AIO klasse)...?
And last question for the polish part, would a clay be necessary if I'm going to polish my car? The way, I understand it is that polishing would strip part of the paint (clear coat), and so the contamination would be gone as well, yet many argues it should be a part of detailing.
Thanks in advance.
