flatting and polishing

[rick9704]

hi all ive been a valeter since 1978, i was a demonstator for auto glym and have detailed many vehs in my time.
i have resently come back into the detailing world after a ten year absence and found paint and prouducts have changed,i am interested in flat and polishing as i work for a lower scale dealership ie high class vehs but not well cared for.
i have in my time trained many young guys who have success full careers but cant ask the questions off them (pride)
any help

Hi rick.I was talking about autoglym in a recent post nearby.I used to use it aswell.Good stuff,but I think Meg's has a better selection to choose from.I personally prefer the finish that Meguiar's gives.

Anyway,what is it you need to know...Meguiar's product lines?,Consumer and/or Professional?

I'm not sure either.I used to live in the UK.I 'think' it might mean flattening out orange peel??????

Re: flatting and polishing

Flattening to me sounds like the same term as polishing/paint cleaning in the sense that you're flattening down the paint to the level of the defect.

Sounds good too.Point is,are we finding meanings of new words here,and the original post ain't coming back!

It's annoying,but it happens

Hmmm, flatting. Isn't that what happens to you after you fall from a really high spot?
