RMG Application Question

[Islander]

Once you've cleaned your paint ( I've used XMT 2 followedby XMT 1 with great results) whats the best method to apply Red Moose Glaze:
Which pad, what speed on PC, amount of RMG on pad, how long do you work the product, what size section do you do....?

Once your wax stops beading say after a month or so, will a re-application of RMG take offthe remaining wax?

Thanx for the help!

I'm still in the learning phase with glazes also, but I'll share my experiences. I've used a grey LC CCS pad with great results. I'm still experimenting on which speed provides the best results, I've used 4 and 5. To help prevent the pad absorbing too much product, I'll apply a small line of glaze directly on the paint and spread onto a 2x2 section. The pads seem to really absorb the glaze if applied directly to the pad IME.

If you are using LC pads, go ahead and apply it with a grey pad. E2K pads - white. This will really "jewel" your paint.

The trick is I used 2 different pads as I was not thrilled with the results of the 1st one. Changing of the pads made little difference. 1st pad was CCS grey and then I tried a wolfgang blue on another section of the car. The RMG did not improve the look / depth of the paint at all (2006 Black Azera)

I know the product is great, but my process needs improving. So far I've been told that not only did I use too much product ( a 1/8" ring agound most of the pad), I am not working it in enough (as I have wiped off a haze, rather than having the product go clear).

This newbie appreciates all thoughts & advice.

you might wanna try the VMG by hand or mix the two and use machine with finishing pad and slower speed (3).

I had good results using a grey pad. See my post from a while back:

I just started using RMG myself a few weeks ago. I tried both using a pad which I found took a long time to work in and also I tried applying it by hand with a MF applicator and when it hazed up, I removed it with a polishing pad which gave it a good shine. That, in fariness, was using a cheap pad. I want to try it again with my lc pad to see the difference. It did shine well with the hand application though. Just my $.02

I do like that hat, I like that party hat! ~PD Eastman~

Thanx for the advice, your Jag has the look I'm after. If you don't mind me asking, how much RMG did you put on the pad per pannel? At what speed did you apply it and for how long did you work it in?

Thx.

I like RMG especially on black. I too have noticed my pad absorbing too much product
Thanks for the tip!
As for speed, and pads, I use either a Black LC Pad, or my Sonus Blue Pad. I apply it on my PC at 4.5 with no problems. I work it in small sections at a time until is gone real thin, then remove. Sometimes I let it haze a bit, sometimes I go WOWO

I have great results with a blue pad working it in until its almost dry, but keep in mind, it is not abrasive, you do not need to work it like you do with a polish.

Also, when I use abrasives I use a VERY small amount, whereas when I use RMG I use a little bit more.
