    Should I Use ultimate polish vs paint cleaner every 3months prior to a new sealant???

    May I offer a simplification? Pick which sealant you like most.. Continue to use this each 2-3 months after regular washing until used up.. Switch LSP amd diagnose decontamination requirements at that time (polish or Chem only). start with the newer one and continue etc... as mike says find...

    What level of polish to BUY?

    Subaru's classically have softer paint, sometimes very soft paint. And as such have at times required some very gentle or refining polishes and euqally mild pads.. sometimes even watering down refining poishes with a finishing pad... I would have this in mind when looking at polishes well...

    Can't get rid of swirls

    After wet sanding my polar White merc c AMG 2015 I discovered as you have the paint is very hard. After working my way up and up I ended up with foamed wool on rotary at around 1000rpm and varied between juice super c (SMAT similar to Megs 101) and then scholl s3xxl gold... The wool finishes...

    help Identifying foam pads?

    You can tell a lot by feel ie how firm and dense the foam is.. Open vs closed cell and thickness... The thinner, firmer and closed cell tend to be higher cut.. Softer thicker and finer open cell foams tend to be more gentle.. And store them in sequence in the plastic storage tub remove and...

    Compounding/swirl removal/ polish/ seal

    I wonder if the same result may have been achieved by stepping up to foamed wool on the rotary for the initial cut... Then just two more steps for refinement and finishing respectively... But great result... [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How to remove Orange peel problem

    You seem to be missing the point... You do not have enough clearcoat from factory to safel reduce the orange peel appearnace AND STILL LEAVE ENOUGH BEHIND TO RETAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE PAINT SYSTEM. Secondly think for a second what you are doing, you would be shaving the tops of each crest of...

    Plan of attack - Black 2013 S63 AMG Sedan - Thoughts?

    I have used Megs wheels brightener diluted 4:1 applied agitated and rinsed immediately... without concern... I wouldn't want to leave it to dwell though just due to uncoated nature of the calliper... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plan of attack - Black 2013 S63 AMG Sedan - Thoughts?

    Mate IME, (ie my wife's GLA) iron X stained the callipers black (reacted with the surface metal) likely unsealed from factory... T The callipers were cold and the product was on perhaps 2 mins... This only happened on the rears the fronts were fine.. And my own C CLASS AMG (which has Brembo...

    Poll:Iron removers

    In Oz, so forgive the non AG mention but so far the most economic locally available product that works is autosmart red7 I got a 5l... Bowdens own wheely clean is also rated but more expensive.. Iron X even bulk here is twice the price and 3 times the price in 500ml.... Sent from my iPhone...

    Plan of attack - Black 2013 S63 AMG Sedan - Thoughts?

    By all means do a test spot re iron X near callipers but in my case they were OK on a 2015 S class... The only mercs I have had issues on are the rear callipers on A, B, and GLA .. They are uncoated and stain black.... Be careful.... Recent C class and up seem to be fine... Also if you get it...

    Do you have a touchless (pressure washing) regimine

    100% agree...... the dirt level which may look clean with touchless will be cleaned more effectively and just as safely with a waterless wash (with suitable products and technique). Touchless for me is taking a heavily soiled car and getting it to presentable level.. but to get it "clean" you...

    Hmmm..... what to use.....

    Can you do one with only carpro products and one with scholl only... These brands make some awesome products and get less coverage especially on how to use for best results... We know Pinnacle Wolfgang and McKees perform with few nuances... Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rotaries can and will eat paint

    I heard hair conditioner will fix that.... Or wire the rotary in reverse polarity and hit it again..... Nothing to see here.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
