Using #80 & #83

Re: Using #80 & #83

I agree with the 83/80 combo. I've had great success in swirl removal with 83 on a LC orange followed up by 80 on a white and on a green pad (soft) with my Flex. 83/orange/flex on a windshield is 100 times better at sheeting rain than rainx in my opinion, not to mention the clarity you get.
I also agree with the dusting with 105 on a DA. The Flex just makes a mess of it! (but man the results.....)

I know Jeff and I fell into the twins and tend to use them with a lot of cars as they are so versatile. We always try to go with the least aggressive as we should, but there also comes a point when detailing for dollars mandates a compressed time frame. 105's aggressiveness can really be toned down with softer pads so we go with what we know will be safe and quick. With the 83/80 combo we generally spend more time going up in aggressiveness with the pads to get the results we want or doing an extra pass or coming back and spot treating.

I love them both and will try to include the 80's in all the fun!

Yes, polishing the window in that fashion is fantastic

However.... sheeting the rain is the opposite of what you are trying to get. The reason the rain sheets after a polish is because you have removed all forms of sealant/hydrophobic applications from the window to the point that no beading results. It's the same as polishing a cars paint without sealing after...the water will simply sheet instead of bead.

After you polish the window you should seal it with something...rain-x is the typical go-to but there are a lot of other options for sealing glass.
