    Is m205 on a white LC pad considered a light polish?

    How long before a coated panel can rest against a towel

    I have two panels off of my car and just applied a paint coating after polishing and prep. I'm figuring in a couple of days it would be safe to lay them down against a towel. Anyone ever have a similar situation? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Differences between Rinseless/Waterless mixed QD and dedicated QD
