    Looking for advice on polish for Lemans Blue Vette

    FWIW ...... hope you don't mind the pics. Sometimes it's easier to show than to try to explain and picture the end result. It's fairly difficult to mess up a finish when buffing with a foam polishing pad on a DA polisher. A rotary might be a little easier to get carried away with so using a...

    A little help

    Would have loved to have picked one up during their release ....... didn't think I had as much use for it as I do now. I justified the purchase as being a business expense & w/ the 64 gig & 3g it's just about limitless. What's even better is that I'm able to use it as a portfolio of my work &...

    :iagree: OP: You could also check into the OTC Meguiars or Mothers brand clays. They are medium grade at best and work as well as anything else in a pinch. You also get the luber with it so not such a bad deal if you need it .....

    One thing missed that could ruin a day long detail job?

    :iagree: ............ this mainly would involve the framed doors rather than the non post doors for me.
