In major need of help

[RoyalBlUE08]

So i purchased the griots 6 inch polish and wax kit from amazon when it had that major sale for only $130. well i tried using it on my accord and it does absolutely nothing with the products it came with. i tried it on my hood/trunk/door panel and its not removing any swirls or scratches or anything. it didnt even look different from the other side of the tape. it comes with machine polish 3 and the wax. is it the polish im using or the pads or both? would the meguiars MF correction system work well? i have a 2008 honda accord in royal blue pearl. any help is welcomed ! im really trying to make my paint pop and shine swirl/scratch free!

please refer me to any threads with techniques and products to use!

thanks!
Mike D.

Im no expert but i would say the polish 3 may not be "strong" enough. When you look on griots website it is listed it says this.

Always start with our very mild polish, Machine Polish 3, and repeat as often as you want, until the scratch is gone. If you have severe oxidation or heavy scratches, drop down to Machine Polish 2

What pad are you using?

[RoyalBlUE08]

yeah so i should invest in m105/205 compound/wax or the new megs DA MF correction system right?

[jbrown287]

I have not used the mf system but seems there are alot of happy customers. Its getting really good reviews. If you buy the starter pack it comes with the compounds that are formulated for the mf system. 105/205 and foam is also a tried adn true method.

there is a starter pack for about 100 bucks it comes with a backing plate 2 cutting and 2 wax discs and a bottle of 16oz compound/wax

[jbrown287]

yeah. thats for the 5.5 which they suggest for the DAs. I have seen in places that its suggested to have a couple of each disc also. But the starter pack would get you going. maybe grab a few mf to help with buffing out the product. There is a 2 pack on bogo.

A lot of folks have tried the MF System and love it. Sadly, it came out right after I had ordered traditional foam pads so I'm waiting till I use those up. Be aware that Meg's does recommend the use of their backing plate, which they say makes the pads run cooler. Also be aware that the last step is a final polish/wax combo, so if you want a sealant you'll either have to skip that step and use something diff (like Meg's UP/205 or Menz 106) or strip it and comeback with a sealant. Some users feel that UP/205 or 106 or other finishing polishes work very well with the MF finishing pad, others prefer using a traditional soft foam pad (black/grey). You'll just have to try and see.
