It's the 30 minutes Info-Mercial I have on cable tv...Haven't you seen it yet? It runs around 3:30 am (check listings) and is between the colon cleansing guy and the buy foreclosed houses lady.

Seriously, you folks really keep the fire of perfection going. Sometimes, these BMW's are a pita (like most cars can be) and I'll hit a snag in something. But your compliments help to overcome the problem.

Toto

Tom..maybe I missed this during these 17 pages of reading, but can I use my own pads and not yours? I have LCC white, gray, yellow, blue, green pads as well as 3M wool ones. Would they work and which LCC pad should follow up the wool?

I have not used system one yet, but go for the blue for finishing.:D

sorry if it wasn't clear
The wool pad that we use is special made by EDGE it works great but any wool will work

The foam pad that we use is made by EDGE but any foam pad will work
I don't know the pads you are using but any foam pad will work the problem is in the pores per inch
you just have to try each foam and wool pad
The MULTI pad (WOOL on one side and FOAM on the other) that edge makes for us works every time to absolute perfection

Any news on when Autogeek will have the 6 and 3 inch versions of the multi pads available ?
 
Tom,
Is System One Voc Compliant?

I need to know to meet local requirements.

It sure is, we have worked hard at SYSTEM ONE to meet and exceed the very high standard of VOC rules for manufacturing polish and wax
in the USA.

That's perfect. Exactly what I needed to know.
Thanks Tom.
 
Hi. This is my first post.

Thanks for the opportunity.

I have taken the time to read all of the posts on this thread.

Of course System One is intended for use on cars, but I have used it very successfully for a different purpose - to polish our high-gloss black grand piano. I reported this to Tom and he acknowledged my message to him. I thought I'd also pass it on to this forum.

I am an amateur piano technician and I have been bothered by the haze of scratches on our piano's 45-year-old polyester finish ever since we bought it about 6 years ago.

Luckily, the polyester is applied very very thick compared to that on an vehicle, so even pretty deep scratches can be removed with initial sanding and then final polish using System One.

I started with a spot on the piano's music stand that is relatively hard to see if one is not looking for it, then moved on to the rest of the stand, then to the surfaces of the key cover, then, finally, to the top of the large lid that is most exposed to view.

To be brief, everything that I polished looks like what you would see if you went into your local piano dealer at looked at the beautiful, high-gloss finishes on their grand pianos - black mirrors.

So, if the frustrated owner of a piano comes to any of you detailers or painters and asks if you can remove scratches or "haze" from a high-gloss polyester-finished grand piano, say "yes", grab your Syestem One kit and go for it! (However, if I were you, I would start as I did - on a place that is less visible in order to get the feel for what it takes to polish that material.)

I'm sure the market for polishing pianos and other furniture that have high-gloss polyester finishes is much smaller than that for vehicles, but owners of those things will be very happy that there is a place nearby that can remove those imperfections.

Thanks again for the opportunity.
 
Did you take any pictures that would of been a great to see.Your post hopefully will help others .Maybe i will try the product on my sons guitars.
 
Sorry about my ridiculous facial expression, but here is a shot of my reflection on the polished lid (taken from a distance of about 10 inches):

Hope this helps.

I'm also sorry that I don't have a "before" picture of that area. Suffice it to say that the haze and scratches were so severe that I could barely see any reflection in it at all.

I recently used an older bottle of their spray wax, and while nice it smelled like Pork/Beans in scent ????

Did you roll the piano out into the sun to see if you left any swirl marks? :D
