Going to the next level

[Optiman]

Hi
1996 deep purple metallic corvette
using griots 6" orbital polisher
used meguairs ultimate compound orange griots pad followed by ultimate polish red pad and gold wax by hand.
good results but still have mild scratches.

went to detail supply shop, they suggested sonax cutmax orange LC pad followed by meguairs 21 sealant red griots pad.
bought it.

question is do I need polish between theses 2 steps?
what speeds do I use for each step?
How many coats of sealant?
hand wax on top, last step? Or waste of time?

On a Corvette, probably not due to hard paint. Because it's a dark color though, you might see a benefit to a second step polishing before the sealant. No way to know really without trying.

Speed 6 is your friend on the Griots working on a Corvette. Make sure to mark the backing plate so you can see it spinning.

1 coat of sealant should be all you need.

Wax if you want, not necessary.
