I'll toss out an old-school option, but one that remains one of my favorite products. Poorboy's Spray and Wipe. I love the stuff, and stock up by-the-gallon when it's on sale.
I so need to try CeriGlass. I too throw M105 at this problem, and have found it to be slow on the worst etching. FG400 should be perfectly fine. Good luck.
Not to pile on, but definitely....too much product. "Much less than you think....seriously!" is the right amount for any LSP. You can always apply a second coat if you feel it's needed, but...
DGPS is such an awesome product. I think of it as a sealant that looks like a wax. I too apply after polishing with M205, but I will do a quick ONR mist/wipedown if there's significant dusting. In...
A good degreaser - APC, the Griot's product, even trusty old Waxblaster - and a nylon brush for agitation. And a roll of painter's tape so you don't make the same mistake next time. :)
Before you spend a lot of time.... try a simple Dawn (or other fairly heavy degreaser) wash. What you're experiencing sounds very typical, and I think you may be pleased with the results.
Really good advice above. If you don't know the history of a vehicle, it's one reason (of many, of course) to pay close attention throughout your correction effort. Even really good...
Great advice above. I still subscribe to using the garden pump/sprayer for washes like this, especially in winter months. I start by spraying the wells, tires, and wheels, and then continue working...
Fascinating. I'd heard this before, and now I'll just have to go buy some. I am a total Z16 junkie. After trying just about everything, I went with Z16 and haven't looked back. That was about...
When I purchased I narrowed things down to the Makita 9227 and DeWalt 849. I pretty much tossed a coin and went with the Makita. Honestly...I lost that coin toss. I struggle quite a bit with the...
Really, really great work! Ibis can be difficult to make look really glossy, but you did a wonderful job with the LSP, and obviously with the corrective effort. Kudos. And....what a car!
FWIW....I'd consider the tech package for resale reasons if nothing else, although I strongly suspect you'll enjoy using it. Otherwise, seems like a really terrific vehicle. IME, Acura is worst of...
I don't know about an extension, but Lake Country makes a 2-7/8" backing plate (5/8" 11UNC) that will fit. It can be had with a few simple mouse clicks....
Sort of a follow up to the Guitars thread, I recently lucked into an instrument from my youth. Back in 1990, I bought my first ever five-string bass, a Peavey Dyna-Bass. Great instrument, and in...
Wow....really nice work. Kudos! I've read of a few details where these cars weren't too happy from the factory. This one appears pretty close to the one I've been able to peek at up-close. I'm...
^ Nice! The best camera is the one you have with you. Well done. I've become increasingly intrigued by cell phone shots lately, to the point where I'll purposefully leave the other gear at home.
...
Good luck! I'm anxious to see what you decide. Photography is fascinating and addicting. Aside from the desire to accurately capture what we do in a correction effort, I'm always amazed at how...
I absolutely LOVE the 35mm lens. Best $200 I've spent on photography gear, hands down. I shoot with my trusty old D90, and I have to tell you - the 35mm spends a lot of time on there.
The best camera for the job is the one you have with you... This includes your cell phone, which I've been using exclusively for this kind of stuff. I do leverage some post-processing work which...
