So I have to use some touch up base and clear on a few chips on my hood. I was wondering if you needed to let touch up paint cure for a month before using a wax, sealant or coating, as you would for...
Ok. Read through the entire article and it is all clear, except for one thing. After hand applying the wax, what is the reason for polishing and then re-waxing? I would have thought it's best to...

Can someone explain the difference between hand sanding and machine sanding? I've heard that you use machine sanding for coarser grits and hand sanding for finer grit. I've also been told the exact...
A rotary buffer. Don't have one picked out yet, still researching. Off topic, but if you have recommendations for that too, you're welcome to give them.
Thanks for the info sharpreflection. I'm thinking the Machine polish is a 5-6 and the Ultrafine is like a 2-3? You seem familiar with this line. Do you have a pad recommendation for the Perfect...
