Hi Everyone,

As per subject. I'm just wondering if WG PPE can be used to remove WG Sealant ? The reason I'm asking is last week after applying WG sealant on my car I noticed traces of what might be the WG PPE beneath the sealant.

I could be applying too much PPE and didn't remove it completely before applying the sealant. Sorry first time ever polishing and waxing car. Planning to start over this coming weekend. So yeah can WG PPE removes 1 week old WG sealant on my car.

Thanks.

Yes.

Are you working by hand or by machine?

Hi Mike ! Yes I'm working by hand. Too afraid using machine after reading your DISO article :)

Have no fear...

DISO is from the misuse of a rotary buffer. You don't come remotely close to those kind of swirl problems using tools like DA Polishers, the Flex 3401 or the Cyclo...


I didn't realize the PC was on a slow setting when we taped this how-to feature as I normally do the demo with the polisher pressed against my hand at top speed but I think you'll get the idea...

I think in this one the polisher is on a higher setting... same point though, these types of tools are the easiest to learn and master...

So if you're still working by hand... check out the dual action polisher and see if you're ready to move up to machine polishing.

99.9% of the people that move up from working by hand to working by machine never regret it...
