  • What Polish to use?

    I have a upcomming customer that is looking for a polish and wax for the paint. I was planning on using m205 followed by m21 - Does that sound right? What would you do...? THanks!

    I think more info might be needed for a serious response to your question. What are you working on would be a good starting point. Condition of the paint? Working by hand? DA? Orbital?

        Haha no sir. That is George Barris. King of the Kustomizers. The man that gave us some of the most famous cars out there.

          As mentioned, you really need to see the paint before you determine what needs to be used.

            The paint is in good condition, it will not need a clay or compound (or anything along those lines) but the paint could use some good polishing. I will be using a DAPC

              My car was in very good condition, with a few minor swirls, and since where I live there is a very limited list of Meguiars products, I used 205, a finishing polisher that can be applied by hand or machine (it' ll take more time, muscle and skill to use it this way). Now if I lived in the US, I would have used Swirl X, that was exclusively made to be applied by hand or D/A, and it is what you may be looking for to get the job done.

              Oh, and remember to always do a test spot first, before moving on to the rest of the car (and always on small areas).


              Well, this is the results I got on my paint:

              I finished applying the second coat of NXT 2.0! I let both coats dry for 24 hours. Now I am going to apply M26 and how it' s going to look! :chuckle1 I wish I knew how to take pictures without all that bad quality noise!
