    Re: Menzerna polishes, polisher

    We only have the 6.5" 'standard' pads... Aside from what would seem to take a longer time to polish, and perhaps a slightly faster speed (less resistance from the pad), I'm still struggling to...

    Re: Too cold for wax?

    I have no doubt that the wax can be "warmed"; I have doubts that the underlying body panel can be suitably warmed by the application of the wax to allow for a proper bond. If the body panel is 40...

    Too cold to wax a car?

    In the "old" days, I was taught that waxing a vehicle when the temperature of the vehicle was below 60 degrees Fahrenheit was an effort of futility. If I recall correctly, this had to do with the...

    I can and will for other reasons, but I don't know that he painted or clear-coated the affected areas... The hood was not replaced; I'm sure they did some 'blending', though.

    I gotta say I get confused!!!

    If XMT360 is a cleaner/sealer, I don't see the point of resealing atop a sealer with nothing in-between. So my vote is XMT360, wax of your preference, then another...
