I cut it 50/50 with filtered water in a new bottle. The terry cloth towel may not have caused it, and it is totally possible that those light scratches were there and the IPA just cut out the polishing oils that were hiding them, but I really doubt it. I compounded the whole truck with a Hobo...

I compounded and polished my paint finishing with meguiars ultimate polish last night. It a was pretty smooth. It's 12 year old dupont clear. 5 coats cut and buffed. Ive always went straight from polish to wax but in an effort to get an even better finish, I tried an IPA wipe with the same terry...

Thank you for the reply. It does appear that the defects are still there. I am not worried about the few larger defects, just the overall texture and tiny defects that are keeping the finish from being mirror like. I thought for sure that I had sanded the defects completely out, and that it...

I am having trouble getting my wheels polished with a show quality shine. They are Mickey Thompson classic II polished aluminum. The wheels were used and a little neglected when i got them, and ive attempted to bring them back a few times, and i haven't had much success. This week i orbital...
