A towel... :) Yeah, I get that! :). I have a lot of microfiber that I would rather not just throw out. So the question is, what level/quality of towel? I’ve bought some shitty MF that she’d like crazy, don’t want that in the paint. Do you test them somehow first?

And you use what exactly to.... (link would be awesome) Wipe off Cosmic v2? Apply High Gloss?

Just use the applicator that comes with the V2 kit to apply? How about the reccomended microfiber towels to use for removal? I assume you have to get rid of them using Cosmic V2 and not High Gloss?

What is the shelf life of PA Cosmic V2 or High Gloss? I won`t be able to use it for 2 months.

I worked on the grey metallic Honda Civic, polishing with Jescar Correcting Compound on Orange Pads. I found with the Flex 3401, that the thin Lake Country worked best with this polish and polisher. Correcting Compound didn't get out all that I wanted the first time, had to go back 2-3 times...

Same when using the Thick Hybrid foam pads, but it ran much cooler and easier with the flat pad.

Cobra Supreme Guzzler And when I said I drive the water off, I mean, I drive the water off with forced air. Then towel.

I blow out the nooks and crannies, and drive the water off the car if reasonably possible. Then dry with Waffle Weave towel and some QD. Wheels/tires/lights/trim/mirrors... all that before wiping IMO.

Thanks for the responses, I'll let you know how it turns out. Yes, the kids (14 & 16) are and have been helping! Currently I let them to the wheels and interior. They also use the electric leaf blower after wash... :)

Eric, thanks and I will spot sand and remove the rust. I'm not at the "live with it" stage yet, but will eventually. Until then I'm going to use this car for some glaze/LSP testing. It's outside 24/7 and it's not my personal baby. My OCD tendencies are tough to curb though. I do have...

I'm a DIYer and I don't have a paint meter. Not too long ago we bought a 3rd car (for future teen drivers), a 2014 Honda Civic with 26,000 miles on it. It was a long and horrible process to even find this for the budget. I don't typically buy used cars at this budget so I've learned it's super...

I would have to repaint the car at that rate. Touch up paint and maybe touch up clear with 3000 to level. I'll try to post pictures, but I could use suggestions on free places to host pictures. I'm going to post a new thread for this project, so no need to answer my questions here... sorry...

Allow me to add to this in a slightly different scale. This is purely focused on a Honda Civic we bought used. People discuss polishing to remove swirls and scratches, and I do polish as well. But what about Scratches on a car that you probably shouldn't buff any further? I'm a DIYer and...

If what I have doesn't work out or it's effects disappear quickly under FK1000p, I'll try something else. I'll be splitting the rear trunk on the Honda and I'll take pictures after each wash.

These are my personal cars and I want to abrade the paint as little and as infrequently as possible, but still have a glossy near swirl free appearance. I decided to go with Poorboys Black Hole due to the results and reviews. I also believe it has no abrasives. I have used Imperial Hand Glaze...

Bob, thanks for the feedback. Two things. I have a sealed 4oz bottle of FK303 Foam Pad Glaze that I got as part of a sample package of FK products, probably 8 years ago. Everything has been kept in a cool 63 degree basement. Think it's still good? Second, while I will give the FK303 a...

Looking for a relatively quick glaze with fillers when I'm not doing a full once a year polish on my personal cars (Silver Hondas and Grey Metallic Audi). So perhaps once or twice a year (most likely the Grey Metallic Audi) I would like to do something less time consuming and less aggressive...

Ok went with... Jescar Correcting Compound Flex 4.5" Backing plate Lake Country Force Hybrid 5.5" pads Thanks!
