Thank you, I didn't know about these products. I may have to buy a couple and compare.

I use Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer on painted vintage sewing machines and it works great as a light polisher. I notice it's no longer available on Amazon. Has it been discontinued, renamed, or replaced? Thanks.

I use Wolfgang's Finishing Glaze. Also WG Paint Works Polish Enhancer for removing old wax. And Meguiars Ultimate Polish. The shellac surface has quite a few scratches, but it's important not to dissolve the shellac or it can damage the decals. But this guy is using Scratch-X without issues...

I have a lot of Wolfgang products for auto detailing. I'm watching a YouTube video on restoring the luster on a vintage Singer sewing machine. Note that Singer uses SHELLAC, so it's important to avoid using alcohol (or even lots of water) to clean it. (A full restore would be French Polishing...

Results of my first detail, using Flex 3401 and Wolfgang products.

Thanks for your review and for starting an interesting discussion. I bought a Flex 3401 a few months ago, and despite my initial trepidation (being a small woman with puny arms!) I got along just great with it, even on the doors and vertical panels. My arms were tired, but it really saved my...

Brilliant! doh! Yes, I can see now that both the front & back bumpers are plastic, and the lower side panels are too (i.e., the one I melted). I've taped off around both front & back bumpers and am going to polish with the PE8 again at slow speed and less pressure, use a finishing pad (not a...

Thanks for the link. It was great to see him explain the different materials used on different panels and how the heat dissipates on metal more than non-metal. I noticed he pointed out the same "ripple" damage at 22:30 that he put down to a previous "inexperienced detailer" (not me!). He...

Thank you all for adding the note about paint heat, or "paint twist". I'm searching for the video from AmmoNYC now. To be honest, I'm not really sure how it happened either as it happened so fast. At first I thought the mark I was seeing was a lump of polish that maybe had been on the rim of...

Thanks all. I'll find a local repair shop and see what they say. I didn't realize Mazda had soft paint. Part of why I wanted the mini PE8 is that it not only smaller but lighter too. I didn't realize it would be so hard to control just from going from 4 to 5. I'll stick to 3 now… I'm near...

It was going so well too... :doh: I was almost done with polishing my dolphin gray-colored Miata and I got a Flex PE8 to polish the bumpers and lower side panels. I had been using it at speed 4 with no issues yesterday. Today as I was doing the lower side panel on the passenger side (the...

Just an update to my post above (2-12-2015). You don't need to use the Wolfgang Polish Enhancer after using the WG Finishing Glaze, it's "redundant". see info from Nick in this thread http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/wolfgang-car-care/91927-wg-polish-enchancer-wg-glaze.html The Finishing...

Thank you all for the great replies. Since I'm a newbie, I think I'll go with the Flex PE8 kit as it sounds like it will do everything I need for the cars right out of the box and I like the small sizes. I also might be able to use it in the art room for polishing copper plates! (I'll keep...

Thanks all. So for 2" size, the PE8 is it. Do you think it will work well for the job I'm doing? If I see holograms, what do you do then? Are there any scrubbing pads that would work for the Flex?! :)

I just got a Flex 3401 earlier this year. But now that I'm finally polishing my little Miata, I can see quite a few areas I will have trouble polishing with the 5" Hybrid pads (around number plate, bumpers, and along bottom panels low down, etc.). I have a wonky elbow so want to avoid too much...

Thanks Mike for the great info. I read and re-read the Wolfgang product guide but they didn't cover this scenario. "Following a fine cut polish with a paint cleaner would be redundant. " Er, that's what I did... I thought the Paintwork Polish Enhancer went right before the Wax. I hope it was...

Great info! Sounds like I can skip a step now, and in the future when I'm just maintaining it.

I was using the Finishing Glaze as a light polish. You can see in the pic how hazy the finish was (water spots and dullness). I don't think the Polish Enhancer would do that, it seems really mild. However, maybe I could skip the Polish Enhancer step if I am using the Finishing Glaze? In...

I spent all day using those products, and am really happy with the results. After claying, used a Flex 3401 + WG Finishing Glaze with a 5" Hybrid white polishing pad, speed 4. (I spritzed the new/dry pad with WG Instant Detail Spritz first to lubricate it, and primed it a bit with product...

Decontamination- Nanoskin, WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer with MF applicator (hand) Paint Prep- WG Glaze (has some abrasives)... Wondering why you use the WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer with the claying step and before polishing? I'm reading their booklet, and the PPE says "micro-fine fillers...
