I want to try some 303 protectant, PB's professional polish, and most of the wolfgang products

Ive had great success on most paint using the DA with M205 with about 3 passes to get rid of holograms if my rotary leaves some behind. Its a relatively quick process. The menzerna finishing polishes work really well too but you might have to work them longer, thus slowing down the process. But...

Has to be single stage paint or it'd look dull if you ruined the clearcoat. Don't think you'll hurt the paint by continuing, that is if it's indeed a single stage paint and there isn't something else going on here. I didn't know they still use single stage paint, I thought that ended in the...

I find I use on average 2-4 ounces of polish per step per car. Less for paint in better condition, more for paint in worse condition. Also size of the vehicle counts as well not to mention how well the particular product works, its working time, and other characteristics. Some polish youll use...

Like you, I started out with Poorboys SSR polishes. They are...ok. It wasn't until I started working with menzerna and meguiars polishes that I really started getting some great results. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Poorboys fan and all their products are great, but I don't really use my SSR...

This is ok with a rotary buffer, but be careful doing this on a DA buffer as it can rip the pad right off of its backing and send it flying. Ask me how I know, lol.

I have never tried any WG products... But I'd love to give the FG and DGPS a try, not to mention the fuzion that everyone seems to love. Not sure I want to pay the price for it though.

Agreed. In my experience using a DA polisher takes forever to break these polishes down. I guess that could be a good thing, but in my opinion takes much much longer to do an entire car. Also I always have holograms/fine swirls/micro marring/whatever you wanna call it with SSR1 and end up...

Bug squash is amazing Black Hole White Diamond - for lighter colored metallic finishes, makes the flakes pop like crazy Natural Look Dressing - definitely my favorite interior dressing and that cherry scent makes me want to drink it. Spray and Rinse wheel cleaner - works as advertised, who can...

Yeah I don't get the whole "rotaries are the devil" mentality here either. A month ago I was a complete noob at any kind of buffer, DA or rotary. Got my hands on both a DA and rotary. Rotary is easier and at least 3x faster...hands down. Yes, you have to be careful but thats about it. I also...

I know how you feel about harming the engine. Its not something I've ever been able to do. Spraying water on something covered by a hood and protected by splash guards underneath (meaning its not supposed to get wet) just doesn't seem right. So has anyone here ever damaged anything by...

Very strongly agree. I bought this product quite some time ago and applied it to my car after working hours to detail. Upon one drive it looked like I went 4 wheeling through the mud. I figured I must of applied it too heavily. I read the instructions again. It said to let it sit and soak into...

How does d151 compare to optimum poli-seal?

You can APC it off. Your truck most definitely has a warranty against rust. Every new car/truck/SUV/minivan has a warranty on rust for a certain time frame or miles. Also theres no such thing as rustproofing, its a scam by dealerships to make more money off of you. They usually give you a great...

I tried SSR1 again with a little bit of advice taken from this thread. I figured if it didnt work out I had some menzerna polish that would fix it up. This time I worked the polish until it looked like it was basically...gone. No haze no nothing. The results were a perfect swirl free high gloss...

So what's the difference between meguiars silicone free dressing, water based dressing and all season dressing. I've seen lots mention using asd in this thread it's obviously for exterior dressing. I use hyper dressing diluted 2:1 on wheel wells and like the results. But I still don't see...

I've noticed this with SSR1 myself even using a white pad. Initially I thought I wasn't allowing it to break down but that doesnt seem to be the case. I hope someone can shed some light on this. On the other hand, I used Menzerna Micro Polish and it fixed it right up. It appears SSR1 isnt a...

I appreciate all the advice given, and I kind of expected this to be a touchy subject, lol. I saw it on other threads dealing with rotarys. I did go and check out some of the cars I did with the rotary in the direct overhead sun to check for holograms, I saw none...so I really don't know what...

In the past week I have buffed a large number of older, less cared for cars from friends and family to get as much practice as possible. I'm using a PC 7424XP and a Flex LK603VE rotary buffer that I bought used along with some wool pads. Needless to say I'm in love with the flex buffer. It takes...

Trust me I've spent way too much money on this site since 07 and I'm nowhere near done hahaha. Its not until now that I bought a PC because my car was new back then and didnt really need any work with something like that. Thanks for the advice and I'll definitely consider the products you...
