Long time lurker, just joined!
I need help! I thought I knew what I was doing but obviously not. I bought a new Camry (first black car ever) washed/clay-bar, Liquid glass pre cleaner and 4 coats of Liquid Glass sealant. So I thought I had the swirls out before the Liquid Glass, but I am not sure if they are under the LG, or possibly between coats. I have tried Maguire’s ultimate Polish with no improvement (actually seems worse). So how can I “start over” ? I know LG says to remove using steel wool with varsol, really? What about a couple of strong washes with Dawn and some DX 330? Or ? and then what?

Thanks,
LB

You must have read incorrectly about using steel wool.
 
:welcome: ...to AGO!

Don't know if a grease-and-wax remover will
actually get rid of four coats of the LG-Sealant.

You can try removing it with the UP...
But, IMO: it just may be too mild of a polish.

I'd bump it up a level, to at least M205.

Thanks for the quick response! yeah I should have clarified they recommend the steel wool for paint prep. I used to do paint work in the 80's 80's?? (holy crap, did I admit that??) using mostly 3m stuff, micro finish, mirror glaze etc that's where the DX330 came from. Things have changed so much I am not sure what is best these days. I will pickup some 205 and try it after the IPA, and the beer haha. I have a mikita 9227? buffer, need to get polishing pads for, or are the orbital polishers much better?

Thanks much! I have a lot to learn!

Orbitals are not better than your Makita, but safer for some. Since you have the experience stay with the Makita.
 
And as I always do, list your location, and maybe someone local can come and help you out, and have some beers
 
Any recommendation on polishing pads for the M205 using my Mikita?

can I use the white compressor pads on my mikita 7" hook & loop backing pad?
