110 and 210 are almost brand new and apparently 110 has an incredible working time with almost zero dusting. Also heard that 210 is exponentially easier to work with than 205, even Mike Phillips himself has a video with the 110/210 and speaks very highly of it. But you are correct in saying #3 and #7 are very old, they are generally for restoring single stage paint (Mike has an amazing trick he uses that works bloody wonders on old single stage) and for dark paint even clear coat i found #7 to add this shine that just can’t seem to be matched anywhere. I do like the few Griots products i’ve
used, but as far as polishes and compounds go im 100% meguiars, waxes and other such products i’m
more than willing to try other things.
Also everyone is right silver you can only do so much,
i’m very very tedious with my prep work so i guess i’m doing the right thing, plus the previous owner was a complete idiot and appears to have just put paint over paint sloppily in a few spots that i had to correct which really bothered me, i’m rather obsessive about my paint work, also my tires and trim lol i like
my cars and truck to look like they’ve had a lot of effort put into their upkeep.
When i first met my girlfriend she was trying to sell her 2012 Silverado (nice truck had the good package) but people kept offering her about 2500 canadian less than she wanted (and in my opinion was fair) so i did a full detail and everything the full meal deal and right away first guy who looked at it said oh wow you must have taken good care of it (engine bay everything was mint) didnt buy it but second guy said the same thing and she got exactly what she asked for, so in my opinion it’s more than worth it in many ways to go the extra mile or 5 to make your car look perfect. I work 75+ hours a week and the only thing i really
cared about fancy wise (i spend all my money on family stuff cause
it makes me happy) was our vehicles, wanted girlfriend to have a nice truck/suv and i wanted a nice AWD both safe and always shiny
(plus we live on acreage in the boonies surrounded by a forest with a nice creek running beside it so a truck is necessary in a lot of ways)
Sorry for the big message that’s just the Icelander in me! Thanks all for the advice and taking the time
to comment and being so positive, i love auto geek because there’s zero negativity here it’s all friendly and all vehicle fanatics or half noobs like me!! Have a good day all hope it’s better weather down there, up here in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada it’s a heavy downpour, guess the 5 month rainy season has begun lol! Take care all be safe out there!
