    Most spray detailers are meant to make paint look shiny or glossy and add a slick feeling to the paint, this is done with ingredients that you don't want to mix into the compounding process.

    M34 is a body shop safe spray detailer so it doesn't have all these extra ingredients included in the formula that could interfere with the performance of compounds and polishes.

    Meguiar's does all their field testing using M34 for applications like this so their recommendations are backed up by real world testing in body shops and detail shops around the U.S. and usually the world.

    Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner can be used like M34 to help lubricate both the pad and the surface when machine cleaning and polishing.




    Asphalt Rocket recommends ordinary water which will also work as water is a lubricant.

    Re: When is it too cold?

    When the heaters in my garage aren't working. Seriously though, when it is below 40 degrees my old arthritic bones won't play even if the water is warm.

    When it comes to a persons worth, money is a lousy way to keep score.
