Sorry to revive this old thread, but I'm swimming in choices when it comes to polish. Is a finishing polish enough? What's "best" to use? I hear good things about the various house brands, HD...

I'm back for an update! I really went at it with the Meg's Ultimate compound and a DA. I think I got it to as good as it will ever be without some sort of touch-up solution. Appreciate everyone's...

In some of them, yes.

Update: Received my Griot's polisher, along with white and orange Hex Logic pads. Using the Meg's UC, I went over the area at about a 6 speed, which really helped the situation. But, as you'll see in...

Nice. I went at it with the microfiber towel and UC for a bit. I have a polisher and a couple hex logic pads (white and orange) arriving tomorrow--I think it needs just a little extra cut to get it...

Thanks, that helped quite a bit. I went out with the ultimate compound and a microfiber pad, but it was a finishing pad--not much heft. It did make some good progress. Think a DA polisher would help...

BTW, that almond color may be from the garage door itself, so maybe that's a good sign?

Garage door caught just out of range of the back-up camera, left a pretty good scratch. Couldn't be more bummed out right now. Is there any hope of repairing this myself with a DA, or do I need to...

THANK YOU! I needed that pep talk--still a little afraid I'll mess something up, but that helped!

I'll get back on here to let you all know how it went in late-March/early-April (fingers crossed...

Thanks for the advice and welcomes, I'm glad I'm on the right path and don't need to bother with the clean slate!

I am planning to purchase my first polisher for this job. I'm not a pro, so I'm...

Hello Everyone!

I'm researching how to prep my Silver BMW 340i DD for spring. It's gone through a couple harsh upper-midwest winters, and while it has no obvious damage, it's never seen a polisher...

I should also note that I have some Megs D156 on hand--maybe that's a better route.

Washed the car this morning with Duragloss, then followed up with Aquawax as a drying aid. To finish it off, I used Pinnacle Souveran paste wax for the first time--wow. That stuff is absolutely...

Great--thanks for putting my mind at ease!

I love using Aquawax as a drying aid--towels glide better and it leaves a great shine. I picked up Pinnacle Soveran during this weekend's great sale. Can I dry my vehicle with Aquawax, then apply the...

Great tip, may pick some up right now. Can the BF Carnuba Spray Wax be applied to a wet surface? Always a fan of products that can--seems to help drying and add lubrication.
(p.s. I've read many of...

Maybe it was because I doubled up on the layers, but it lasted for 5 months.

Actually, when I first received the car, I sealed it with two layers of JetSeal and it was great. The price difference is pretty negligible, but I'd heard such amazing things about Power Lock on this...

I did. I actually gave it a bit longer, closer to 20-24 hours.

I detailed by car last week with the following (probably way way overkill) regimen:



Citrus Wash & Gloss two bucket wash at 5 oz/5 gal
Iron X & Rinse
Clay Bar
CG Blacklight
Jescar...

Wow, thank you everyone for the warm reception. I think I will swap out the JetSeal with Power Lock--way too many positive reviews on here to ignore.

I've done very little research on polishing,...

Hello everyone!

First, I have learned so, so much from this forum--thank you!

I took delivery my 340i this winter and a full, proper detail wasn't possible because of the weather. I did give it...
