Re: Mirror Finish

Well it has taken me 3sih hours to do the side of the bed and I must say not a lot of difference we will see tomorrow when the sun is higher

The trick is to work a small area until you get it to where you want it, then repeat that process. You may find you need more pressure when compounding, etc. You have to get the compounding right first. If you do a large area before your happy, you won't be happy!

Oh, and search the forums regarding how to deal with the decals on the truck too.

Re: Mirror Finish

I meant clean during use, i.e. don't let pads get soaked with product. You can use terry cloth to absorb product if necessary. There are a lot of threads on this here.

I use tide, no fragrance. You can roll and squeeze em then air dry and/or use washer and dryer. Many threads here on that too.

Re: Mirror Finish

Well of all things I bought a DA buffer and some polish and wax pads (yellow and black) off to try it out any last min tips?

Take your time. Take a break when you need it. Clean your pads when needed.

Re: Mirror Finish

My Saab has a garage - and you can still see dust a day after a wash. ... Bad for me, good for Meg's sales.

Re: Mirror Finish

Oh I got ya I will pick some of that up what do yall think about those California car dusters?

I use a small one for inside when needed but I don't have a garage and it's risky to use on outside (especially on black), you can drag bad stuff over your paint.

Re: Mirror Finish

*** suggested by Michael S in this forum, I have a a 3.5 Gal bucket with a screw on/off gamma sealed lid and I make a gal or so of RFEW, put some MF folded cloths in there and am ready for a wash at a minutes notice. All you need is some dry MF cloths to wipe off the RFEW.

Re: Mirror Finish

No. The Ult Wash and Wax you just spray on and wipe off. The Rinse Free Express Wash (sorry called it No rinse before) dilutes it water but no rinsing reqd.

You should wash with normal process like Gold Class Wash shampoo when you can.

This stuff? http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...mate-wash-wax/ Thats what I got

Re: Mirror Finish

You'll find out you have to mail order some of this stuff. I went nuts just trying to find foam pads with no success locally.

Heck, I had to mail order bags for my home vacuum the other day. It's a sign of the times. You'll never find everything you need in a local store these days.
