It is better than that. If you want to get more aggressive you may want to try some microfiber cutting pads (there are lots to choose from on Autogeek). Again start out least aggressive with using...
I wish all of the manufactures printed on the back of the bad what it was-I know some do. I too do the sharpie just in case, but most of the times it comes down to feel unfortunately since I have...
I have not used enough of the panel wipe products before coating when compared to your tutorial. Also, I have not been doing a total of 4 crosshatch passes when...
I agree with everyone, you need to go smaller not bigger on the pads. 5" pads with the correct pressure and speed, and if you "kiss" the panel with compound (as shown on Mike's videos) before...
Meguiars M80 is great on single stages as well with a little bit of cut. Duragloss 501 is fantastic as well on single stages though it is more of a chemical cleaner but it really brings single...
I thought the cutoff was midnight??? I saw it earlier in the morning, but waited and now it is down. Sometimes ordering online has it difficulties I guess since you cannot get an answer on what the...

I was having difficulty wiping it using it on a single stage. I will try it on a black base/clearcoat paint tomorrow. That is what I bought it for anyways.
I will have to follow some of those tips provided. I have tried several times and it is hard to remove and it seems there is something left every time and it appears cloudy. I am probably working...
If there is bumper to bumper traffice be careful. In frikken CA it can take me 1 hour to go 10 miles during rush hour in the Bay Area. That gets frikken old quick! I talked to my supervisors and...
For friends and family (brothers) I will ususally do it for free provided they help and then I can use it as a teaching experience and they also learn how hard the labor is so if I want to charge...
It won't remove any of the scratches/swirls. The chrome is a very hard material to begin with, and once you induce swirls the best way is usually to have it re-chromed.
Once it is scratched you need to rechrome. You need to be very careful with chrome during the washing and drying stages. Maybe if you took the chrome parts off and took it to a buffer wheel with...
