Hi top_cat87

One note on the M05 question,

-First of all, what is #5 New Car Glaze considered as? it seems to dull the paint so i suspect it cleaner polish??


-Is it ok to let the polish dry for 1hr plus while doing the whole car, then followed by a wash instead of wipe? i find polishing followed by wiping very inconvenient and it also causes ALOT of dust. and for some reason my car seems to be a high powered dust magnet

#5 New Car Glaze is a fast drying pure polish formulated to be used in humid climates where using a product like #7 Show Car Glaze can be slower and more difficult. This product came out in the 1950's when the commonly sprayed paints were lacquers and enamels. It can be used on modern clear coat finishes but probably a better choice for ease of use with less dusting problems would be Deep Crystal Polish.

The dusting you experienced is part of the fast drying features built-into the product.

The Deep Crystal Polish and the #7 Show Car Glaze pure polishes are dramatically much wetter and used correctly don't ever really dry, simply apply, work in and then wipe off.

Stick with one of these,

#7 Show Car Glaze
Deep Crystal Polish
#81 Hand Polish

All of these are pure polishes and if you apply using a tin coat they will wipe off fairly easily if you use a quality wiping cloth and a gentle touch.

When you coming back to SoCal?
