i washed my car the other day and noticed all the swirl marks and haze and etchings everywhere and i decided its time to do somehting about it. watching some videos now on how to use the thing so i can rock out when it gets here.

Good choice. Did you watch the vid I posted in that other thread. What polish, glaze, and wax will you be using?

im gonna have to get me one...my car is filled w/ swirls and blemishes that need to be taken care of

i watched the video on autogeek.net not sure if that was yours or not. if it wasn't send me the link cause i'd like to watch it. and i was prolly gonna end up using pinnacles line fo products since thats what they used in the video unless you have a better suggestion

When (if) I do mine I was planning on using Meguiars #83 then #80 and then trying Poorboys fine wax (whatever their top of the line finishing wax is)

Is this good?

Im not real big into Meguiars waxes and polishes, there is better stuff out there. For polishes, I like Poorboys SSR1 and SSR2.5 along with Pinnacle XMT #1, 2, 3. For glazes I like ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze and Pinnacle XMT Glaze. For waxes I recommend DP Max Wax, Poorboys Nattys Blue, Souveran wax (and liquid wax), and Pinnacles Series II.

phil_the_thrill go with the Pinnacle XMT stuff. Once I finish off my Poorboys, Ill be using the XMT #1, 2, 3, then XMT glazes and top it with DP Max Wax.

Remember, you need to work the POLISHES in for 3-5 min (I set a timer each time) and if you use the #2 or 3 then you need to go over that with #1, then glaze, then wax.

yeah thats what im prolly gonna end up using. i gotta run to my local auto parts store to see if they carry it but i dont recall seeing it there before. thanks for all the help

hey i had another question. what are the rules about using this on plastic such as my front bumper?

You can use the ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze on plastic and weather stripping, but you cant use any of the other stuff I listed on that. Thats why you see guys using blue painters tape on the weather stripping and plastic. For plastic and weather stripping I recommend 303 Aerospace Protectant.
