What a beauty!

Washed the bride's Landy with Meg's gold class (two-bucket method). Finished it off with Turtle Wax 53409 ceramic spray coating. The latter seemed prone to streaking on larger panels, which I suspect was caused by (1) using too much product and/or (2) the sub-50° temp.

Thanks--the video was extremely helpful.

I could use some advice on how to better distribute compound/polish on my pads. For today's session I went with a flat orange Lake Country pad (5.5") and Meg's M105 compound. I spritzed the pad with Adam's exterior detail spray and applied 5 pea/dime-sized drops of product. "Stamped" the pad...

Can't beat the price.

Amazing!

Y'all were correct about removing product in low temps. Did my first compounding and polishing in 44-48f temps yesterday, and it was--as they say--a learning experience. Looking forward to practicing in more appropriate conditions.

This is Moose on the day he joined our family (nine years to the day).

Do compounding and polishing results suffer when done in low(er) temps? Not talking about sub-freezing conditions, but in the 40-45f range. Edit: Found some good info in this thread.
