    Ive not heard of the Cosmic Spritz, although Polish Angel is available in the UK.
    As it’s a ceramic topper, can it be used as a standalone product without compatibility issues?

    Loving the name “Black Wulfenite”!
    Im not so sure about these colour charged products though, most of the pigment is wiped off, anything left behind surely like a veil in front of a mirror (masking my freshly polished clear coat)?

I just installed some insanely clear PPF on my wife's car and the depth of where it is appears deeper thanks in part to this effect.

    In the end, the final product matters but you'd be splitting hairs IMO. I do most all ceramics any more but the depth of them is still insane.
    I figured someone might mention this. It came to mind whilst trying to sleep! Yes, the hard work has to be done first.
    So it’s initially down to the quality of the abrasives and pads, not forgetting the softest contaminant free towel to wipe down.
    So can I get any better on my soft? paint than the Rupes combo?

    But, as mentioned above, the final product is only as good as the foundation you lay: Correctly decontaminated, smooth, corrected paint.
    Thanks for the welcome!
    Funnily enough, the Wolfgang you mention is one I’ve been seriously considering. Again, it’s not one that is mentioned often in the UK (strange bunch us Brits, not willing to go off Piste!)
    I think it was Brian from Apex Detail that brought it to my attention.
    I’ve not heard of the Fuzion though, thanks,I’ll be checking that one out too. It’s a shame these companies don’t do small sample bottles.

    Cosmic spritz is great as a stand alone



    PA says 6 month durability. I like it topped at 3. I’ve used Cosmic monthly and that works too. I felt the same about color charged products but red good reviews.

    As Polish Angel goes it’s less expensive than others.

    Re: Deepest wettest reflections

    Here’s one 6 months after my first attempt at polishing using a Megs DA Chemical Guys Hex Logic pads and Scholl Concepts S30. I think it had Blackfire products on top. It had a quick wash for this picture, topped with Meguiars Ultimate quick detailer

    A few shots after correction last summer with the Megs/Hex Logic/Scholl combo, no protection:

    Post Xmas after two passes with the Rupes polisher/DA Ultrafine/Uno Pure: I’m amazed out how quickly it corrects and refines

    Can anyone shed some light on why these photos have auto rotated from the original??
