Glassy no doubt. CQUK looks amazing. Just jaw dropping.

It darkens the paint so it adds a rich depth, but has a glassy coating look which I love

P21s

I like yellow pads! I've used them when I didn't want to deal MF pads.

Eraser

I think its a pure profit center product.

I had some deep scratches that caught my fingernail (barley) and I wet sanded them out with 1500 grit. Be careful you don't go through the clear coat though.

Just gotta find a cool new location now :)

It is :)

Mods I've done is dropped on H&R Coilovers, spacers & RS5 Grille.

Thanks guys :)

The car went from being a 6 footer (swirls were easily seen) to a 2 footer. The paint is almost perfect, but there are RIDS that I just didn't care to spend the time on.

I...

If you dont want to "polish" a car with a DA polishing machine, you can 'deep clean' your paint with Klasse AIO by hand. Seal it after taht with your choice of sealant - should take 2-3 hours tops.

^^ Application is key. You can get sling from water-based dressings, and if applied correctly, you can avoid sling with oil based dressings.

If you cake it on and drive right after - sure, you'll...

I've never had a problem with sling & Meguiars Endurance.

Those that have must be over applying or not letting it soak in long enough.

Yes, of course after a wash.

Swanicyouth - FWIW IME there is a marked difference between oil & water based tire dressings. Meguiars Endurance tire gel would last a few rains and still have a nice...

Before I understood there was a difference between oil vs. water based tire gel's, I bought Optimum Opti-Bond based on the great reviews.

I've applied this about 5 times so far and Im done with...

Nothing mind blowing here... this method is often applied to ONR washes.

For traditional washes, I prefer one wash medium and two buckets.

So far every polymer product Ive tried has left some sort of streaking on my finish and Im quite tiered of it.

Optimum Opti-Clean - takes king position!

If you use even a very fine polish like SF4000 or M205 - your going to strip the coating, plain and simple.

You cannot "correct" a coating.
You can "maintain" a coating by regular washes and...

Sonax PNS & BSD seam to be ahead of the game right now.

No idea... all I know is M105 + MF cutting pad cut out the swirls but there are still plenty of scratches still there that bug me. I can see in 3 months or so pulling out a wool pad.

^ Yes I truly wish I had something more aggressive on hand... surbuf, LC Thin Wool or a Carpro Cool Wool pad would of been much better... oh well, now I know.

When you think a microfiber cutting...

PC DA.

No, not possible.

I did a 50/50 test on my trunk lid and initially had plans of using an orange LC pad and FG400, but when that didnt cut enough I pulled out the Microfiber Cut Pad and...

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Using a DA. Its a daily driver, I put 100 miles on her a day.

I guess Im just a bit dissapointed because for some reason I thought my paint was softer then it is...

I took the day off work today to work on my Audi. I did a test spot with FG400 and an orange pad, no dice, still scratches. I then hit it with a Meguiars MF Cutting pad & D300 with some M105 mixed...
