Got it. DAT break down regardless of the type of polisher AGO sells.

There isn't one formula for success in detailing. Here are my $0.02. Businesses and livelihoods are built and sustained on profit - not cost or noble efforts and intentions alone. Finding the right balance is key. In my IT consulting business I do keep rates and prices close but some...

Good luck but you gotta really be special to burn through Audi clear. I have forced rotation; never got close. What makes you say this? In all of my test spots TSR is not bad at all, zerna always surpasses though just enough. Never heard of this before. Do you have references in other...

I'm curious how this is possible. Clearly there is something to hide.

Audi has very hard paint so I am curious to understand why not take the risk with a good and current compound. For german paint systems I gravitate to Menzerna; more options. TSR 3.0 never cut as well and I never used Pinnacle because Menzerna works. ;-)

Wow... what a revelation. I remember the hair perm smell too! Very cool info and thanks for sharing!!!

Welcome!

The price of this 3" polisher comes across as insulting to consumers; and as someone said previously pretty steep for a weekend warrior (in my words, hobbyist). I'm very happy I purchased my Flex 3401 4 years ago and with the 4" backing plate. I rarely use my Griot's 3" polisher as a result...

PM me.... I know where to get some good replacements.

From the product description ---> ....its proprietary soil release/antistatic agent actually helps repel future soils..... This blurb tells me it leaves something behind on the towels so that it "repels". And I thought the static electricity was a good thing in MF towels - not that it matters...

I have tried OPC on tires and I had better success with Mother's Tire Cleaner - which was my go to product (and still could be based on cost). Currently I am working through Tuff Shine's Wheel Cleaner Concentrate; which is awesome for dirty/old tires. For new tires I think it is more...

How is it doing now? Inquiring minds...... :-)

I have used PERL, Opti-Bond and Tuff Shine CC.... still have all 3..... Tuff Shine CC outlasts them by weeks and I do tend to layer with 2-3 thin layers.

I don't think there is a water based product that can get you more than 6-8 weeks on a tire. I get the level of effort can be significant but every 2 months is not a bad thing at all.

Mothers Foaming Wheel and Tire Cleaner is one of the best around IMHO. I have other products like Pinnacle Wheel Cleaner Concentrate but I only started using it this year and the jury is still out.

If you are dead set on 845 then inspect the paint and consider Waterless or QD. Generally speaking with a white car I would say QD.

I'd still try buffing it out - cannot hurt. The leading edge by the tail light looks like it is in need of some sanding and some touch-up paint. Not much to lose perfecting your technique there as well. Here is an example that may help boost your confidence...

If Step 2 is non-abrasive then it isn't aggressive. The pad and technique will answer your question (assuming you use a machine). I have used Step 1 and 2 - never saw it as anything but mild. Most of the time I have applied it with a MF applicator or a sponge applicator relative to #2.

Good inputs. If you want the "most" durable then you are talking about a coating - which lasts anywhere from 1yr to forever. Please confirm.
