Thank you! Can you tell me what "body shop safe" means? Does it mean that it wont chip the paint?

I was just wondering what the difference was between a "good" polish and a "bad" polish is.

Thank you for the write ups Mike you're amazing! I wish you would come open up a detailing service here in Cambodia. They REALLY need it here.

They are quite good at what they do :P If I was to detail my car with them, they would send 2-3 people to come to my house and detail it from washing, clay, polish, seal in 6 hours. All for 5 dollars. I had them detail my Black LX570 a few months ago, they were amazing. I had HORRIBLE SWIRLS...

I was just curious if their applicator was efficient. They are using terry cloth towels.

In Cambodia, labor is extremely cheap. These detailers (about 15 people) detail 100-200 cars a day on average. They've been doing for over 20 years here. $3 for smaller cars and $5 for larger ones :P

Is there a specific pad that I'm suppose to use if I'm going to polish my car by hand? Is it possible to use a new foam pad (wax/sealant applicator ones)? Or a microfiber pad?

Almost impossible to keep rain, dirty, etc build up on it ]: It rains almost everyday sometimes even twice. Thats why I wax once or twice every two weeks or so. The wax just gets eaten with all the heat and moisture going back and forth. I don't have time on the weekdays to wash it either. :(

More specific question: After letting the wax and sealant cure properly, What will happen if I was at work and it started raining. After a quick heavy downfall of rain, the sun comes back out and dries out the rain on the paint. This happens almost 3-4 times a week here and I was wondering if I...

I was wondering what were the affects of rain on wax/sealant if it was left to be dried by the hot sun?

by sticky i mean that it did not easily slide across.
