Thanks for all the replies, especially Mike P. It feels like the teacher picked you to answer when he replies. Mike probably does not remember, but you used my black 1996 Jaguar about 14 years ago at one of your classes in Irvine. I have learned so much from Mike, and all the info here. Keep you...

White Corvette... Hi gang I have an Arctic White Chevrolet Corvette convertible arriving soon.It is my wife’s, any suggestions to make the white look good? I usually polish and wax, should I ceramic coat it? Any input is great, I know white is tough to really pop like colors :buffing:

I usually get a new mitt and waffle weave drying towels when I get a new car (hint). The last two mitts I got were the Wookie mitts. Any particular wash mitts that you out there like?

Do I just spray it on and wipe off with towel? Is there anything I should be looking for? Goal is to remove any left over polish , etc?

Hobbyist here, going for my first cquartz application attempt. Any input on Reload? I have it in the garage, I hear it is tricky and might smear. Should I use it?

Been thinking of trying if for 5 years, now I will experiment on the daily driver before I tackle the Vette. I have clayed, washed 2 daily drivers. Now I will polished and apply the coating. Question: do you apply to the plastic bumpers, etc? thanks to all

I don't use a pure glaze, however I can tell you Megs Ultimate Polish did wonders on my Pantera. It was difficult to remove on my late model corvette though. YRMV

Hello I tried it about 12 years ago on my Jaguar XJS. Not sure if I didn't use it correctly, or what ever the case, it was a bust. Can not recommend leatherique

Yes Mike, lots of purple as I used a white micro sponge. I am the Pantera guy, you did my black jaguar as a demo at Meguiars in Orange County about 12 years ago.

Tried the lemon Iron X (it smelled WAY better), left it on 5 minutes, agitated with microfiber. It worked well, although I still clayed after the foam cannon and got some more contaminants.Hope to polish tomorrow.

I attached a foam filter to my cheap leaf blower, just in case...

I am used to polishing my vette, gonna tackle the wife's Lexus( oh help me). It's black and hasn't been polished, and it is 6 years old and sits outside. I will give it the full wash, decon, clay. It looks a bit scratched, I was thinking M205 with a polish pad to start. Any tips? Wish me luck

I might be overly cautious, but if it only touches paint, it gets washed seperately

Gang: I learn SO much from this forum, especially old posts from Mike P . I unfortunately have a black car addiction, and always looking for More gloss (not more cowbell). Question: if I leave a wax on longer, will it really do anything? What about a coat of glaze between polish and waxing...

I also was not blown away by UP, had high hopes. Perhaps the soft paint or incorrect pad is the cause

Also try to change the in cabin air filter, if it has one

All, I have 6 panels in my backyard, 2'X6', they look weathered, I know they will polish up nice. Any thoughts on pad and polish combo?

I have black cars, and hard water, I use mine to rinse

Well, a couple of years ago I preferred the M205, easier to work with, better swirl remover, etc. But this time I got a new polishing pad and I had an old bottle of Ultimate Polish laying around. The results were very satisfying, just saying.

As I was polishing my car tonight, I was thinking about how pleased I was with the outcome. It's only taken me about 12 years to get this polishing thing figured out. I am actually going to wax it tomorrow night(day job keeps getting in the way). I met Mike about 11 years ago in one of his...
