    Great info just read through it all. Just bought this product and using it on my black Tesla Model 3...some questions... On average, how many pads should I be using throughout the car? Is it safe to use this with my DA every 3 months or should I switch to using this only when necessary for...

    Ceramic Coating water spots

    hey mike a couple more questions.... when you say 8 section passes do you mean even in direct sunlight or in the shade? How many if I am in the sunlight to avoid dry buffing? also, what should my hand speed be with this product? Should I move it faster than normal or the 1 inch per second method?

    Polishing with a DA polisher issue

    Also...any chance I may need to use a stronger cutting compound first? I cant imagine I would need it on a 4 week old car thats been washed twice.

    Polishing with a DA polisher issue

    Thanks for the advice. So should I ditch my Torqx DA for this particular car and do it by hand then? Or try it again with the DA with the Menzerna and/or new pads.

    Polishing with a DA polisher issue

    Update: this morning I got a chance to get Meguiar's M205 (couldn't find M210) ...it did seem to fix my gray hazing issue. I received decent results (and fixed the horrible mess of yesterday morning)... However, there was not much sun today, so it was tough to analyze my work. Upon close (I...

    Polishing with a DA polisher issue

    But did I ruin my paint by doing this? If I do purchase that blue buff pad on Amazon that you're referring to - what about the polish? Which polish is good for 'soft clearcoats'
