I found a bottle of 83 sitting on a shelf at NAPA so i picked it up. I never have tried it, and have only used one other product before that would be comparible.
The other product i used (i wont mention names, its not important) was a professional grade product and may have been better suited for the rotary.
I didnt have any luck with it, and i would have to go over an area 3 or 4 times to remove swirls with a light cutting pad.
So, i thought this was the norm. It took me all day, roughly 7 hours to do a 2 step polish job per car, and the results were not that good. This sounded consistant with other peoples experiences, so i didnt think much of it.
My wifes car is a white 2000 intrepid. It had MAJOR swirls, spiderwebs, cobwebs, every web!, plus these repeating scratches all over it. It looked like auto scratches, but scratches done with wire instead of a cloth machine
Like i said before, i am not a car nut. I used to look at the paint before, and if nothing was stuck on it, it was clean. A few months ago i started to really look at the paint. And i was horrified, what have i done lol.
So, picture the most scratched up 5 year old car you have ever seen, this was it.
Anyways....whew, #83 on the first try removed 80% of everything. I was amazed., i did it 2 more times(3) and all but the deepest scratches were gone. I only did a door and a fender tonight.
I am content here, its white, its old, and its a dodge, and it looks good.
I have read other places that #83 is hard to remove. Well, i dont know what they were doing, but it came off no problems for me.
Just before it dusts, stop. Its not complicated. It wipes right off.
My only question is, is #80 this awesome too
Well gotta go buff off the NXT now
