Quoted for truth.

It will depend on if you are using diminishing or none diminishing abrasives. "Seasoning" lends more towards SMAT or non diminishing and "Priming" for diminishing. "Priming" is a...

Is the wheel bare aluminum or clear coated? If it's clear coated about all you can do is use something like Iron X(which you already have) and a tooth brush to work it in. My favorite wheel cleaner...

Do you mean a 5.5 backing plate on the 21? If so it works great. With the 21mm throw sometimes the larger pad won't fit in some spots. The 5.5 is a good compromise.

The dealership I work at hires teenagers who lay MF towels on the ground then pick them up and wipe wax off. At first it was like finger nails on a chaulk board and I tried teaching them a few simple...

Very true. Compressed air seems to work better than the brush alone. The brush does fluff the fibers up but it doesn't get rid of the dried compound and abraided(sp?) paint like compressed air does. ...

Any MF pad should be washed/dried before use to help eliminate the shedding. I use Meg's MF discs only and have had them shed some if I didn't wash them previously.

It's like clear coat. You don't wait a month do drive your car after it gets painted do you? :buffing:

This is an old thread I know. I found it by searching for opti coat cure times. I OC'd a black Escalade this afternoon and was going to give it back to the owner but it started raining/sleeting and...
