Help Guys - Polishes and Compounds

[Dr Oldz]

Question regarding Hydro Tech pads used with Wolfgang Finishing Glaze on like new-paint (2011 model)...there are some light surface scratches, so some very minor correction is required...I doubt I even need the total swirl remover...but I want it to finish down as glossy as possible in the fewest steps using WG Finishing Glaze (because that's what I have)

Should I start out with the tangerine pad (light polishing pad) with very little pressure, or use the crimson (finishing pad) and work it in good...or both? I understand that the crimson fine fishing pad has no real correction capability, but on the other hand it probably produces a better "pop" to the paint...I guess I'm wondering if the tangerine pad can finish down enough so that I don't require a follow up with the crimson. I'd like to be able to finish down to a really high gloss in one step...not two if I can.

I find the tangerine pads and WG finishing glaze finish excellent on most paints.

I gotta tell you guys, this is a great forum. I belong to a couple Harley, MINI and garage forums and this is without question the most helpful bunch of people I've come across on the internet. It's funny, I'm 52, I've been detailing since I was a kid, but until I got the 7424XP and joined Autogeek, I never realized how little I knew.

I'm still reading through everything, but in regard to polish and compounds I think I've narrowed it down to either Wolfgang or Meguiars and maybe some of the Hyper line. Let me ask you this: for the most part, wouldn't the Menzerna line be the same as or very similiar to Wolfgang?

Thanks for the prompt replies.... HT tangerine with WG finishing glaze sounds good to me. Yes this forum rocks for sure. Great guys and gals and more information than should be legal.

Menzerna make Wolfgang for AG so they probably are similar.
