    Suggest me a one-step polish with nothing left behind!

    I take it a step further and call polishes with protection "polishing wax", or "cleaner wax" I had no idea how difficult it would be for people to navigate this topic. It's to the point that another detailer I know regularly preps with Megs D166, which has a durable sealant in it. He said...

    Best collection of polishes for German Paint....Menzerna or better....?

    I just use whatever I have on my cart, and it's 3D ACA500, and 3D ONE. We do a lot of high end foreign / European vehicles, and their performance has been exceptional. Pads are just as important for me as the liquids. I have a couple varieties I like, but if I need maximum performance and...

    Detailing Products - Buy the smaller bottle to get the -branded bottle-

    Only with polishes. I buy the 8oz because they're easy to place in a pocket while doing roofs of larger vehicles. 3D, Hescar, Menzerna, CarPro and many other companies offer them. Meguiar's doesn't, but their 16oz pour off bottles and secondary labels take care of that need. The Ultimate...

    Do I really need a foamer?

    That's not a universally applicable statement. I know of plenty of tunnel and self serve washes that use 100% fresh water. At least in Michigan.

    Rupes microfiber pads

    For me the wool performs better than microfiber. They stay cooler. They are easier to clean and keep clean. They don't load up with spent product or residue as easily as microfiber. I've tried the Rupes DA Coarse several times and it always cut well. It's much too dusty for my personal...

    Clay disaster??

    I had the Nanoskin clay blocks, mild and aggressive. I couldn't tell a difference. They both scratched up the paint really thoroughly. I use the Meguiar's clays, mostly the fine C-2000. The aggressive will mar the paint. The fine doesn't seem to impart damage on it's own.

    New products your looking forward to most post-SEMA?

    The Optimum wheel cleaner, and waterless wash. I just ordered the new versions of Car Wax, Opti-Seal, and Hyper Seal. Carpro Dquartz Go, and the glass coating. The new Megs coatings. We just ordered M200 where I work. That's about it though.

    Good towels for fragile clear? Canada

    My favorite polish removal towels are The Rag Company 365. They're a dual density towel. One side is more stout, and the other ever so slightly "less stout", but not "plush". More importantly, they're 70/30 blend, which is very gentle on the paint. I've yet to encounter an issue using them.

    SEMA 2023/2024 New Products

    That Dquartz Go, and the new Megs coatings will be in my next order. I'm actually interested in trying them.

    Same here man!! I still use it as often as I can. I've been going back and forth between that 3D ONE, and Optimum Hyper Polish.

    Final step / Jewl polish

    Looks like you're set with polishes. Maybe do like 98caynneTA said and try finishing pad or two.

    What are you listening to...?

    Played drums on WDIV Channel 4 Detroit this morning. I've been on "tour" with my other band since Thursday. We were tour support for former Saving Abel singer, Scotty Austin. We had a show in Detroit, then Kent Ohio, then Toledo on the way home Saturday night. It's a lot of fun, drums and...

    If you need more cut, which do you find is better to go with a more aggressive compound or pad?

    Thank you, Chilly! I have always liked the idea of having "headroom". Knowing that if the polish / polish pad combo isn't sufficient, there are options in either direction. The reason I do that is to try and make it a "one step" process. Ultimate Polish, M205, Menz 2500, Jescar Medium, 3D...
