| | | "Jeweling paint" 3 step polish?
The term "jeweling the paint", would that mean compounding, polishing, then final polishing with a finish pad, then applying wax/sealant? |

| | | Jeweling means using finishing polish like XMT1 or SSR1 first on white pad, then on grey finishing. Blacks really benefit from it.

| | | If you looked up jeweling in the dictionary(under killerwheels he would agree the process is the same ..he the responsible for giving the process its definition..
Depending how much cotting you need to do..if you use a heavy SMR or cutting pad you need to continue to step down with your pad and polish to elimanate the marring caused when cutting deeper swirls/scratches..
Example:Of course this depends on the abrasiveness of the product .02
Yellow LC
Orange LC
White polishing pad LC
when using the LC white pad with OP or menzerna FPII you can probably finish down to a LSP when using any of the two polishes,or SSR 1..

| | | I love the term jeweling, and again found the term while having my wifes diamond/platnium ring being polished. The jeweler took a polish (rouge) and went to town. Wiped it down and washed it. It looked much better, he then went back to it with a light finishing polish and really amped it up to another level of beauty.
I noticed by taking the same time to do this with a cars finish you can add another level of brightness and reflection. Truly geming or jeweling the finish. Most of the polishes I use on car break down quite well and CAN be used as a one step polish due to their dimishing abrasives. I still go one extra step and repolish with a finishing pad (grey) / finishing polish (FP, or FPII) at a very high speed on the PC. The other benefit is any light micromarring or small swirling I missed I might have reduced. A win -win ! |

| | | WOW! Vette looks great, thats what I'm trying to do. Scott you said the gray pad, would this be the white edge pad? so you would end up polishing three times if you use a compound on the first pass? | | |
