I personally am not a fan of ULW or the paste vesrion either. I bought ULW when it first came to market and had problems from the start. I was fully aware of the need to apply it sparingly and thin but removal was where the troubles started. It never seemed to cure/bond to the surface. Even...

Like you I wanted to keep the natural look. My solution was to clean them with brake cleaner and then spray them with Dupli-color high temp ceramic (1200 degree) paint in aluminum. No trouble keeping them clean since. I used this method for the center of the rotors as well but black with the...

Thanks folks, I just had the spoiler on my car repainted and there's a small spot of orange peel they missed and I'd rather not have to take the car back in. Plus I don't own a rotary.

Is it possible to polish out the surface after wetsanding with a d/a instead of a rotary?

Love to, let me know when and where.

As long as it uses a standard 5/16 x 24 thread arbor it will work on the GG6.

Thanks for the recommendations, anyone got any others?

I've been cutting my teeth using the GG6 d/a and meguiars Soft Buff 2.0 pads. After the trial and error from my self education and lots of referring back to this site and others I'm looking for good alternatives to the Megs pads. Not so much that I am dissatisfied with them but I know there's...

Correct,17x8"...looking to go 9.5" on the rear soon. That's out behind my Dad's shop near Wingate. Pipes are tucked up about as close as you can get without contacting the body. I'm running 3" from the Y at the headers back to the muffler in the same routing as factory which is why you can...

I think there was one instance where I did see the hologram effect like that. Oh well, there's always Mothers...

My problem wasn't with the holograms you mentioned but with being able to see the product smear like an oily film on the surface when I would wipe the car with a towel or even with my finger. I know what you mean with all the recommended steps to get the surface looking good that shouldn't be...

That avenue was explored early in the story, they sent me the paste version to try since I was having such trouble with the liquid version. I'm willing to try it again after the potential need for an IPA wipedown after polishing was brought up earlier.

My 1990 Pontiac Firebird Formula, mine since new. Lots of upgrades, modifications and extras added over the years. Maintained religiously whether it needed it or not. She was my daily driver for 12 years until I finally retired her to sunny days only driving. She's got many trophys and quite a...

I asked this same question to Meguiars reps when this problem first occurred and they said I would be fine to apply the wax immediately after removing the polish without an IPA or MS wipedown.
