Thank you very much for all your replies. I am just new to detailing my cars and my family's cars (around 3 years). I am also days old of this forum but have read quite a few threads of Sir Mike including some of those that was re-stated in this thread. I am just a hobbyist by the way. I kinda have a clue to the answers to my questions but I would like to hear what you guys think of my observation.
First, I also believe that there are no abrasives with Pinnacle and Wolfgang Sealant but I really think chemically because of it's vehicle/medium,
it kinda chemically cleans the surface to adhere? Your thoughts?
Regarding the scratches, those are very small and fine to begin with. Foam pads via hand did not correct it but a MF applicator did, I'm sure with that. I did IPA wipe down twice to verify and checked it under my worklight and under the sun. I guess it really was because of the applicator.
Regarding the Blacklight question, I really don't know that's why I asked. I always get different answers. Website classifies it as a glaze while the directions said "when used as an AIO". To be safe, I'll use it as my glaze to fill and mask imperfections since I don't intend to fully correct the surfaces.
Question regarding Optimum Finish, I just asked it because I read from a thread of Sir Mike siting M205 as Fine Finishing while Optimum Finish is Ultra Fine. I'm leaning towards the least aggressive product.
Regarding claying, I know it is necessary.
Just thinking of short cuts? I do my vehicles per panel every weekends and in a rush. Claying and washing again makes me feel lazy most specially I'm working with SUVs.
Thanks again guys.
