What do you mean? They’re like $10 bucks. Go on Ebay and get yourself this 1 if you want 1. It comes with a steel plate and several paint slides to calibrate the meter, so you know it’s accurate. Once it’s calibrated it’s pretty much set for good. [meaning you don’t have to re calibrate it every time you use it]

Using abrasives removes clear, that’s what they do.

For the pros, here it goes.
If I pickup a polisher and go to polish and see no results, does that mean that I didn’t remove if (any) clear coat?
That's a very open-ended questions. Lots of factors, simple things like,
You, your technique your experience, tool, pad product, paint hardness, depth of scratches.

Yes I know my sentences are bad, English is my second language.
Anytime you abrade the paint you remove paint.

Mike, I’m curious to know your advice on why Ric’s car wouldn’t allow for correction?
If you get a chance, I’d like to hear your advice. It’s the second post on this thread.

Tool, technique, products and the paint. All these matter.

Re: Polishing question , when no correction achieved, are we still removing clear?
Anytime you rub one surface against another friction occurs. That friction will wear one surface or the other. The only time I don't think you removing a minute amount of clear would be when using a product that doesn't have any abrasives by hand.

Thank you Dub, does polishing like a complete polish by Griot count as abrasive?
