Nope. The LSP on top will not protect CQ as CQ has better water and dirt shedding properties. The LSP on top will be working backwards. So you add CQ to protect the paint and then a LSP to protect CQ? Maybe a spray wax on top of this LSP to protect the LSP then? Where does it stop?

Oils can be natural oils. Some waxes mandate themselves to leave out any synthetic ingredients. Example - Victoria concours Red wax. Some add a few polymers to increase durability to this otherwise natural recipe. Example - Victoria Hybrid wax. Both are high carnauba waxes and both are oily by...

It gives me a reason to look forward to polish and try a new LSP every weekend. Just a quick set with Carpro Reflect, panel wipe and a new wax or sealant. I think one more round of the sealants I think will help and then onto a coating. CQ sounds like the thing to buy for this panel. Rest of the...

Bob, I am going to restrict the definition of dirt here to what bothers me the most at the moment. Here goes - Oily Fingerprints, Baked on Dust due to extreme heat, baked on mud after heavy rains and not getting to the car in time.

I have been testing several waxes and sealants for the last 3 months on one panel to check which one makes it easiest to release the fingerprints and dust. The car is a DD and goes through security every morning and it causes oily fingerprints on the boot. None of the waxes so far seem to...

Very tempted to try this. After starting many threads here about a fingerprint problem on my daily driver, I have been thinking if I am a candidate for a coating. A friend is a pro detailer and distributes this, let me call him up now before I change my mind.

Is it possible that sealants release dirt better than waxes, in most cases? If you think about it, an oily wax will hold on to dirt whether it is a pure wax or a hybrid. Sealants could be better at releasing dirt and not allowing it to get etched/embedded? A wax for me would be Dodo Juice Blue...

You've got it right.

Thanks for sharing.

That sounds like me :xyxthumbs: I will be following this for long term reviews.

I use everything from Carpro Reflect to Sonax Perfect Finish to Scholl S3 Gold to Menzerna SF4500.

Too expensive compared to Final Inspection and FI seems like a way more versatile product. It makes bodyshop safe QD, panel wipe for polishing and seems to add or take away nothing from the paint. I am particularly not fond of IPA, Panel Wipe, Eraser, Gtechniq Panel Wipe etc.

LOL. I meant to say it is easy to compare them in theory but they behave differently when you actually use them a few times.

I don't like the idea of chemically stripping the paint unless I am using a coating. Can Meguair's Final Inspection be used instead after machine polishing to check "True Correction" as a lot of compounds/polishes/pre-wax cleansers have a tendency to temporarily fill? Also, do you see anything...

Sonax PF = Menzerna PF2500 on paper (Menzerna SF4000 in reality) Sonax Cut & Finish = Menzerna FG400 on paper (Menzerna PF2500 in reality) Haven't tried Cut Max yet. Please use them on several paint types, with a few different pads before comparing them. Polishes on paper and polishes on paint...

GPS is fantastic. Even my polish II separated and hence I am no longer buying OPT polishes.

What I am dealing with, UWW performs the worst. Like I said, even ONR cleans better.

Does anybody use Meg's Final Inspection as a panel wipe to check true correction after machine polishing? Prior to applying coatings and Nano Sealants? It claims that it can be used for this purpose and is cheaper than Eraser, Branded panel wipes.

How does this compare to a PC and a flex 3401? I am looking for a good DA as Rotary is not fun for applying waxes and neither to enjoy slow polishing.

I found found something that really works but Meg's Final Inspection claims to do this. I am planning to buy it shortly.
