    Re: Polish Angel is now at Autogeek!

    A towel... :)

    Yeah, I get that! :). I have a lot of microfiber that I would rather not just throw out.

    So the question is, what level/quality of towel?

    I’ve bought some shitty MF that...

    Re: Polish Angel is now at Autogeek!

    Just use the applicator that comes with the V2 kit to apply? How about the reccomended microfiber towels to use for removal? I assume you have to get rid of them using Cosmic V2 and not High Gloss?

    Re: Polish Angel is now at Autogeek!

    What is the shelf life of PA Cosmic V2 or High Gloss? I won`t be able to use it for 2 months.
  5. Re: Help me find a Glaze with fillers for this process...

    I worked on the grey metallic Honda Civic, polishing with Jescar Correcting Compound on Orange Pads. I found with the Flex 3401, that the thin Lake Country worked best with this polish and polisher....
  6. Re: flex 3401 temperature of the head unit while polishing

    Same when using the Thick Hybrid foam pads, but it ran much cooler and easier with the flat pad.

    Cobra Supreme Guzzler

    And when I said I drive the water off, I mean, I drive the water off with forced air. Then towel.

    Re: Do you towel dry or blow dry?

    I blow out the nooks and crannies, and drive the water off the car if reasonably possible. Then dry with Waffle Weave towel and some QD. Wheels/tires/lights/trim/mirrors... all that before wiping...

    Thanks for the responses, I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Yes, the kids (14 & 16) are and have been helping! Currently I let them to the wheels and interior. They also use the electric leaf...

    Eric, thanks and I will spot sand and remove the rust. I'm not at the "live with it" stage yet, but will eventually. Until then I'm going to use this car for some glaze/LSP testing. It's outside...

  12. Need help with scratches on a used car that I don't know how agressive I can be...

    I'm a DIYer and I don't have a paint meter. Not too long ago we bought a 3rd car (for future teen drivers), a 2014 Honda Civic with 26,000 miles on it. It was a long and horrible process to even...
  13. Re: Why isn't applying clear coat after wet-sanding or cutting standard auto detailing practice?

    I would have to repaint the car at that rate. Touch up paint and maybe touch up clear with 3000 to level. I'll try to post pictures, but I could use suggestions on free places to host pictures.

  14. Re: Why isn't applying clear coat after wet-sanding or cutting standard auto detailing practice?

    Allow me to add to this in a slightly different scale. This is purely focused on a Honda Civic we bought used. People discuss polishing to remove swirls and scratches, and I do polish as well.

  15. Re: Help me find a Glaze with fillers for this process...

    If what I have doesn't work out or it's effects disappear quickly under FK1000p, I'll try something else. I'll be splitting the rear trunk on the Honda and I'll take pictures after each wash.
  16. Re: Help me find a Glaze with fillers for this process...

    These are my personal cars and I want to abrade the paint as little and as infrequently as possible, but still have a glossy near swirl free appearance.

    I decided to go with Poorboys Black Hole...

    Bob, thanks for the feedback. Two things.

    I have a sealed 4oz bottle of FK303 Foam Pad Glaze that I got as part of a sample package of FK products, probably 8 years ago. Everything has been...
