Re: Some advice on #5

I have a black 05 with bc/cc.

Maybe it wont be necessary after the 80 but I figured I would try to get the best finish. Just so I have the necessary products and pad ready.

#5 is designed to be used in Humid environments, and in perfect paint conditions. If what I've described is not your conditions, I'd recommend #7 as your polish..
Here's the product description:
New Car Glaze produces a high gloss with minimum effort. Provides rich nutrients to restore paint's shine. Ideal for humid conditions. Safe and effect on fiberglass, plastic and paint.

Applying Polish:
You can do it by hand or machine it's really your preference. I apply my polishes by hand with a Hi-Tech applicator. I also use the PC sometimes with a 9006 Finishing Pad on speed 3. It really just depend on what mood I'm in, or if time is critical.

I really like #5, been using it for over 30 years now. Doesn't give quite the shine of #7 but it's a lot easier to use.

I'd apply it by hand or PC/G-100, not by rotary. I prefer to use a polishing pad (a mild one with not cut) as opposed to a finishing pad, but it's personal preference.

Unlike most Meguiar's products of this type, I don't have any problems if I let it dry completely before I buff it off.

It's pretty foolproof, but keep it off black trim as best you can and wipe it off any such trim before it dries. Any staining is pretty easy to remove, so don't get *too* worried about this.

I thought the 9006 Finishing pad is the mild pad. And the 8006 Polishing pad is does have a cut. Am I missing something here. I could be wrong. I just don't wan't to be giving out the wrong information.

You're right- the 9006 is the mildest pad. The 8006 does not have any cut *on the paint I've used it on* but my experience with it is fairly limited. When I say it didn't have any cut, I mean that any abrasive action came from the product, not the pad itself(though the pad did facilitate said abrasion more than a milder, finishing pad would).

I don't use Meguiar's brand pads enough for final polishing to know if the 8006 will have a cut as a general rule. Many polishing pads I use do *not* cut in and of themselves, at least not not when lubricated with product, and especially not on hard paint.

Whether the 8006/pure polish combo will be functionally abrasive on *your* paint I can't say...perhaps somebody with more experience with Meguiar's pads can chime in with a more definitive answer. Still, I'd tend to doubt that the 8006 would cause any problems in this regard unless your paint is very soft.
