Cool thanks, were you able to find that anywhere on the product, or website or something, just curious.

Hey guys, I really want to try both of these and I like the fact the Griots is CLEAR when it says "safe for all wheels including uncoated aluminum". I know it is PH neutral which is a good thing. But I also want to try the DUB cleaner and it says "safe for all wheels" but does not give the PH...

So just finished compounding everything, I don't know how many hours I have in it but I'd guess at least 6 or more. Anyway I decided not to skimp and put the car up on the lift and looked at the bumpers. I noticed when I looked at the rear facia behind the wheel that it was so badly oranged...

Thanks for the info guys, the issue is those scratches in there are deep, might be best left to a pro. I've got a friend here in town who is an expert and he can come by one day and look at it, but I might try knocking them down a bit by hand and see what it looks like.

Ok, so just finished with the hood, whew! Like 3 hours total to compound and polish. I tried to take some pics. Here is a before, the paint was not in bad shape but you can definitely see tons of tiny little scratches, you have to click on the top of the picture to make it bigger where you...

"You said do do" lol, sorry couldn't resist my potty humor. Mike, as always thank you so much for your detailed post, you are awesome. Here is the thing, I'm scared to wetsand my car now after trying it the last time (see old post from a few weeks ago, I think you replied in there). Granted I...

Unfortunately I don't either, but I'd say it is really hard b/c I can't get anything that is deeper than a swirl out it seems. I've found if I put the PC on speed 6 and push really hard and stay on one scratch for an extended period of time it diminishes some, but I don't like the feeling I get...

Oh and no, I think I must have exaggerated that. Or possible I was working a much smaller area, b/c today I couldn't get it to even go 6 passes it seems like without seeming like the compound was gone, but then I'd stop the polisher and right under the pad would be wet, so not sure what's going...

Sorry for all the questions, but if it does not break down how does it finish nicely? Guess I'm confused, I thought that a polish that broke down smaller and smaller is what made a nice finish, I guess I have it backwards?

Thanks for the tips guys. Yes I do a proper wash, however.....I have been lazy and haven't changed my mitt for like 2 years, plus I use it to wash my daily drivers....DOH! This has put some good scratches in it, they are long and annoying, but pretty hard to see unless the light is just right...

As requested here are a couple pics. It was hard to get one of the small scratches but I finally did, you can see it in the reflection of the overhead flourescent light. The other one I'm trying to show how nice the finish is, it is just a few straight scratches here and there that are...

Thanks for the info, I would love a Flex! I didn't think I was using too much, I only use about 4 pea size drops of UC, but I'll try a little less to day and see if it makes a difference. Good to know about the 6 pass rule. It is an orange swirl and haze pade. PC is on 5 mostly, should I...

I see, so Meg's UC would be a DAT then correct? I'm still going to go over it with UP as well but the UC finishes very nice.

I'm thinking that it will take me around that to do it all as well. could you tell me what DAT and SMAT mean? So many acronyms around this place, I'm trying to learn them all lol.

I see, I'm probably going a little slow then, but I'll just keep plugging away at it, it is a big job, and I have to go back and do it all again with polish aaaaahhhhhhhhhh! :D

Exactly what I was going to say...If you have 20 good reviews no one will take stock in the 1 bad one :)

Ok, I think knowing that I'm not going too slow. Does one pass mean you need to go back and do more? I basically work a small area until the polish is almost gone, so sometimes I make 10-20 passes to get to that point, guess I'm not sure what you mean by a "pass".

I started a full compound regiment tonight on my car. I'm using Megs UC followed by UP. The car is in awesome shape just see a few tiny swirls/scratches I'm hoping to knock down a bit. Anyway it seems like it is going to take me forever with the PC7424XP. I remember doing this years ago now...

I've noticed certain pads on my 7424XP make a huge difference in vibration, might look into a different pad?

Just curious, say a pure carnauba wax that you are suppose to let haze, well say you you didn't. Say you just wiped in on and then wiped it off, would it do anything or do you have to let it haze to see any benefit, and why? I searched but couldn't find the answer, I'm just curious is all. I...
