In my experience, it's best to spend a bit more and go with proven quality. As said above, you can get LC pads for under $10 still, just wait for sale or coupon codes - it's not that hard with...

leatherique for conditioning once a year. Simple cleaning, like the rest of the interior, every week (P&S xpress diluted 1:1).

I like the CSSS (for polishing). Green is my favorite, decent cut for a soft pad, but extremely glassy finish.

Thanks for that. I've been using Pure, bought 50ml more (I have 3 cars to coat this year), but I wonder if I should get MOHS and put that on the car that is lightest in color or maye the one that's...

Not surprising, thanks

On their site, it's listed as "professional" - I would assume the coating is not much different than other coatings like from Carpro/Gyeon for example.

Anyway, it's listed at $100, but the photos...

Hand's down - P&S Xpress Cleaner. I think it's pineapple or something. Unreal.

Low key good smeller - Carpro Reset - subtle, but a favorite.

My favorite for jeweling is the seafoam green LC CSS pad with Griot's boss perfecting cream on 8-9mm d/a speed 4 with very little pressure, even less than the weight of the tool itself.

Avoid plush towels or anything with much nap. The pearl weave type towels are the best for no lint.

Depends, but if you're using a compound (DAT), then you can go to a firmer pad or MF for more cut, and probably still get great finish. If you're using a typical polish (that only goes down to about...

You might opt to use a cleaner wax (or synthetic sio2/polymer type AIO [polish+sealant]) which will lightly clean the paint up (swirl removal) but not so aggressively that you'd worry about running...

I'm doing a 1 step on a newish, black Audi A3. I'm very used to BMW paint. The audi uses Glasurit paint as well, but I've heard it's a tick softer than bmw.

I went with Tangerine LC eurofoam pad...

Agreed, start over. Unless you just don't care that much, but then I wouldn't use cancoat, I'd use some cheaper sio2/polymer spray. That is to say, Cancoat deserves bare/polished paint :)

I think Turtle wax and 303 aerospace have these types of sprays, at the cheap pricepoint versus Gyeon wetcoat/Carpro hydro at the higher price point.
