    Two step polish questions

    Can't find the thread didn't think to bookmark it but if you found that XMT360 works well with black cars I'm all ears on steps. I have Flex 3401 with full range of LC CCS pads. I only have 5-6 hrs so I am thinking just cleaning it up, get some reflection back. She has a Hyundai Elantra.

    Two step polish questions

    Read a while ago Mike suggested not using XMT360 on dark cars. Found an old bottle of Optimum Polish, which I never used, that may work well just to clean up my sister's car in a day. Need suggestions on speed and machine (DA or rotary) that have worked well. Thanks, Howard

    Shipping Tape

    Strange question I know, but there is a reason. Does anyone know what white tape autogeek uses to tape the caps of bottle so they don't come loose during shipment? I work in a design department and we ship bottles all the time to vendors and customers. Clear shipping tape is just nasty...
