#81 removal question

[Airborne Ranger]

Since #7 and #81 are similar to each other, is removing them the same way??

To be more clear, #7 "skins" as they call it and you have to remove it little by little, do you have to remove #81 the same way as #7?? or can you remove #81 like a wax??? tks,,,,,deadman98

I remove a section at a time with MF. Never tried it the other way though.

I find that I get better results, more gloss, if I let the #81 skin first before I remove it.

I never really understood the term "skins", on the #7. I love the 7 but never had any problem removing it, or smearing. For me, 7 is the cornerstone of a perfect job. Anybody tried NXT over 7?? or vice-versa??

Skin means like this. I see it this way.

When your making instant pudding or something, if it is untouched for a period of time the top layer of the pudding dries out or "skins" if you will, hence the term skin. Once the pudding is stirred the "skin" or top layer goes away and exposes a new wet layer of pudding.

The same principle goes for #7. I agree with you with #7 for adding that extra gloss to the finish. I really like #7 alot. It can be hard to remove if your technique isn't right but the shine iIMO is really eye catching

Hope this helps you out,,,deadman98

I see now. I'll be experimenting with 7 some more this weekend. How do you remove 7? Do the whole car and then remove or panel at a time? I use the panel method.

Hey Reflections,

As far as removing #7 goes, I remove it by letting it "skin" first, break up the residue with a cotton towel and follow with a MF. I'm still new to this method but it seems to work well for me.

What I do is go around my whole truck or someones car, by the time I get all around everything, the first panel should've had plenty of time to skin then I just break it up, let it skin some more and remove the rest, follow with a MF to pick up anything that's left. Works great for me,,,,,,deadman98

Hey,

I have had great success applying and removing #81 Hand Polish following the same method as the one used for #7 Show Car Glaze. However, with #81, I have also had no problems doing one panel at a time either.

I put NXT over the top of #7 and its wet, slick and glossy look is yet to be matched. Also topped with carnuabua wax DC-3. Just to help durability......or so i was told by a friend.
