    Diminishing look :-(

    I think its about time i stripped my cars of product and start over...to many coats of everything from polishes, to glazes, to sealers, to wax's, to QD'er's UGH...... the clearcoat is very good as far as swirls and marring, but the shine is warring, its looking dead......it needs a face lift....strip down maybe with AIO and start anew.....

    any suggestions??..... maybe back to UPP. and a soveran topper? .

    if no swirls ... I'd hit it with a finishing pad and some Menzerna Nano, just to jewel it abit. Then the UPP/Souveran seems juicy wet, or maybe the new Poorboys Red alone for testing purposes ?!?

    Naah, just run it through a tunnel with huge extra stiff rotary drum brushes and rub dry with burlap. That should strip everything and provide ample occassion to reapply good stuff. But it may take a while.

    Then you may want to try some Bondo to fill in the swirls.

    Here's one I just got for cleaning, PB Professional Polish. Then you can use your choice of sealant over it. The PB looks, feels, and acts like VMG. The bottle says for _ _ _ _, and removal of old product build up.
