When I first started this thread, members gave me great advice. Here's my experience two years in:
1- Very easy to take care of but use the proper techniques and products.
2- It saves the...

It' amazing how much you learn just by reading a thread that catches your eye.

Thanks, Paul.

Hey Mike I've been wanting to ask this question for a while, and since you added to this thread, hoping you will see this.

Is there a difference between a "good swirl finder light", and say a...

I'm pretty new at this, but I kinda agree, even though I've purchased CQUK 3.0 (didn't use yet) and Reload.
Just curious, what do you use then, just wax I'm assuming. I've used the Collinite 845 and...

It's a lesson learned. You never know how bad the paint actually is till you get it home. I thought it wasn't that bad in the showroom, I was wrong. At least it's only a lease. I'm going to finished...

And the more you become one one with the polisher, the more experienced you become.
I'm not really a Zen sort sort of dude. But thanks for the positive vibes.

From what distance do you see the defects on the paint that is left when inspecting in the sun? Is it really close or more from 5' away?
Cause sometimes as long as you get the clarity in the paint...

[QUOTE=custmsprty;1574389]You can if you use the right product and technique. This truck was absolutely trashed and was done with FG400, Rupes 15 Gen 1 and LC Orange Pads. One correction step and...

Actually that was until I opened the garage door, and the truth telling sun hit the hood in full force. I guess the LED high hats, and my LED flashlight really don't tell the whole story.
I know, if...

Will do the in between wipe down.

As far as the Essence goes, wipe off right after it's laid down w/ the machine, or what SWETM says to let dwell for 5-10 minutes?
Also, two pads are enough for...

Ok, the D300 w/ the LC orange worked! There are a very few slight imperfections here and there, but I can live with them, they're that light and I have to really look for them.

I should use a LC...

I will try that first as I only have the 2 that came with the kit plus a Griots Fast Cutting MF pad. If I have to move to the MF, I'll just have to clean as I go.

Thanks, Eldo.

Will definitely follow Guz's advice.

Yes I have marked my backing plates and have rotation. Actually, the paint looks pretty good, just some problem spots with heavier marks in each 2x2 area.

I...

Actually, only the two that came with the kit plus a Griots 5" Fast Cutting Pad. Definitely going to pick up some more. Going to try the D300 om the orange pads, if not up to snuff, will use the MF...

Well I guess I do! Should have read the entire bottle. Was to busy trying to stop my spinning head.

Thanks very much, Guz!

I have Eraser to prep for the coating.

I don't have D300, so what would you suggest with what I have to do today?

And thanks.

I have to get to work today, like now. I don't have D300, what would you suggest I use in place of that with what I have.
Oh, and I didn't put Griots Correcting Cream. Also have the Megs Correction...

I thought you could finish down with LC orange pads.

1. 5-6 Machine speed, with some pressure and lightening up on last pass.
2. 4 Passes.
3. 3 LC grey, 5 LC orange, 2 LC white, 1 LC black. 1 Griots mf, and the 4 Megs that come with the MF correction...

I was using the thin pro orange. I have 5 of them.
Thanks

Ok, so I'm prepping the new lease car for CQUK 3.0. I did the wash, Iron x and clay, on the white VW Tiguan. Started with Essence and orange LC pad on the roof, because I wanted to get that over...

Thanks very much, Guz. I appreciate your input and experience. I always look forward to your responses to my questions. As well as everyone else who chimes in to help!

The CarPro towel on their website now is the 2 Face they recommend for leveling coatings. I love CarPro stuff, but at 5 bucks a pop, I'm going with TRC's at ten for $14, especially since I read...

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

Pats, I'm going to use TRC Edgeless 300's.
