I use Wolfgang's Finishing Glaze.
Also WG Paint Works Polish Enhancer for removing old wax.

And Meguiars Ultimate Polish.

The shellac surface has quite a few scratches, but it's important not...

I have a lot of Wolfgang products for auto detailing. I'm watching a YouTube video on restoring the luster on a vintage Singer sewing machine.

Note that Singer uses SHELLAC, so it's important to...

Thanks for your review and for starting an interesting discussion. I bought a Flex 3401 a few months ago, and despite my initial trepidation (being a small woman with puny arms!) I got along just...

Brilliant! doh!

Yes, I can see now that both the front & back bumpers are plastic, and the lower side panels are too (i.e., the one I melted).

I've taped off around both front & back bumpers...

Thanks for the link. It was great to see him explain the different materials used on different panels and how the heat dissipates on metal more than non-metal.

I noticed he pointed out the same...

Thank you all for adding the note about paint heat, or "paint twist". I'm searching for the video from AmmoNYC now.

To be honest, I'm not really sure how it happened either as it happened so...

Thanks all. I'll find a local repair shop and see what they say.

I didn't realize Mazda had soft paint. Part of why I wanted the mini PE8 is that it not only smaller but lighter too. I didn't...

It was going so well too... :doh:

I was almost done with polishing my dolphin gray-colored Miata and I got a Flex PE8 to polish the bumpers and lower side panels....

Just an update to my post above (2-12-2015). You don't need to use the Wolfgang Polish Enhancer after using the WG Finishing Glaze, it's "redundant". see info from Nick in this thread...

Thank you all for the great replies. Since I'm a newbie, I think I'll go with the Flex PE8 kit as it sounds like it will do everything I need for the cars right out of the box and I like the small...

Thanks all. So for 2" size, the PE8 is it.

Do you think it will work well for the job I'm doing? If I see holograms, what do you do then?

Are there any scrubbing pads that would work for the...

I just got a Flex 3401 earlier this year. But now that I'm finally polishing my little Miata, I can see quite a few areas I will have trouble polishing with the 5" Hybrid pads (around number plate,...

Thanks Mike for the great info. I read and re-read the Wolfgang product guide but they didn't cover this scenario.

"Following a fine cut polish with a paint cleaner would be redundant. "

Er,...

Great info! Sounds like I can skip a step now, and in the future when I'm just maintaining it.

I was using the Finishing Glaze as a light polish. You can see in the pic how hazy the finish was (water spots and dullness). I don't think the Polish Enhancer would do that, it seems really mild....

I spent all day using those products, and am really happy with the results.

After claying, used a Flex 3401 + WG Finishing Glaze with a 5" Hybrid white polishing pad, speed 4. (I spritzed the...

Decontamination- Nanoskin, WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer with MF applicator (hand)
Paint Prep- WG Glaze (has some abrasives)...

Wondering why you use the WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer with the...

Just an update: 10 days later and I've read lots of threads. I'm still finding stuff I needed I buy - like vinyl tape to cover the edges (yesterday) and Iron X to do before the claying (today). I...

I was about to add that as a newbie I'm more confused than ever after reading the thread about bird excrement removal.

What is "1:1 IPA" mentioned above? Can't find IPA in the Acronyms threads.

Interesting! I'd no idea that waxes dry out (newbie). Is there an advantage to storing wax in the fridge?

During the summer, our garage gets fairly hot, but I have a small fridge in there so I...

Thank you all! Eco Touch Wheel Cleaner looks like a fine choice, and I've bookmarked P21S as well.

I agree that the EU is often far ahead of the US as far as this stuff goes. The 1Z products from...

hi Monica! So glad to hear that! I'm petite but have good hand-eye coordination, and I mastered a rotary sander so hoping it's at least less dusty…!

I didn't realize there was a Pink Flex until...

Hi all, I'm a newbie researching products to clean my Miata. I live in a pine forest, and am concerned about washing my car and letting the run-off flow into the natural environment outside my...

I ordered a Flex last week and waiting for it to arrive. As a complete newbie I'm reading the forums to learn as much as I can. I found a mention of a Limited Edition PINK Flex, and I'm wondering why...

Thanks MarkD51! Nice to connect with someone who understands NM dust...! Great info; will have to check out more local auto stores. (I usually only go in for art supplies like bondo scrapers!)
