For me, this isn't so much about making a "superior product" as it is for extending what I have on-hand. Occasionally, I have ended up with something I really like. My successful science experiements include: QD: PBW Spray & Wipe with Megs UQW (about 60/40). Spray Wax: UWW+ with Distilled...

and I'm out of finishing polish. Can I use this #3 as a final polish? Can I expect similar results as UP? I would be doing a "cleanse" prior to LSP so maybe, so maybe that defeats the purpose of a glaze. I'm not interested in filling-in, just the polishing aspects. I know the #3 is ancient...

I hope I'm using the term correctly, tracers, being the fine lines and scratches that can follow a towel wipe on a clean panel. This phenomenon is driving me mad. This is supposed to BE my therapy, not the reason I NEED therapy! (sound familiar?) This is occurring mostly as I do a panel wipe...

One pass of the DA and it's all done.

I've worked by hand all my life because I just do my own cars, and I enjoy taking it slow - one panel per night - that kind of thing. However, this latest used car needs some swirl repair that these old arms ain't fit for correcting. So I got me a GG. The owner's manual for this thing leaves a...

To test a new bottle of SSR2.5, I used an Orange pad and the polish by hand on a small rectangular taped-off area. The idea was to do this test by hand before I use my new Griots buffer. The polish instilled more swirls than were originally there. These new swirls were finer and much closer in...

So I was riding my Kawasaki Concours 1400 perhaps a bit close to those 4' high reflectors that are supposed to keep you from changing lanes. I guess one of them didn't like me being there, because it came over and hit my left saddlebag. Dang. That's some thin SOFT paint. Time for a correction...

I totally understand that it's the prep that brings the pop, and my cars have always looked fantastic after a good polish. However, they always look even better after the wax. Always. There's this camp that almost dismisses wax; saying it's for protection only. Why, then, would there be $100+...

I can't call this a swirl, more like a tornado of scratches. What, on earth, would cause this? These defects were on my car when I bought it. As for correction, hand polishing with an orange pad, 3M compound, then Menzerna 2500 also with the orange, made it look better, but its still there...

Hello everyone! I've learned so much just from lurking over the years, so why not register? Great site. Glad to be here. :cruisin:
