I need to get up to speed. I missed last 20 years in detailing

FWIW, I don`t think you`d have liked how that M101 (which I use) finished out when you really inspected it, so I`m glad you followed up with a finishing polish.

The Ford clear is pretty dang hard so I would have to imagine that is why the leftover haze was so mild. Granted, I was working in the shade, had I pulled out into the sun, that may have revealed a whole knew view of the haze.

but I just can`t imagine how such a thing could work marring free since I find most *anything* will mar autopaint once it has a speck of (abrasive) contamination stuck to it. Heh heh, I`d *really* like to be proven wrong about that!

It is my understanding that the specks of abrasives get stuck in the perforations where non perforated towels would drag them across the clear coat. Late summer early fall when I towel/mitt clay again should provide more feedback.

Thanks again for the good explanation of how it`s been going so far

You`re welcome.

The Rag Company just released a video of their ultra clay and their perforated towel, mitt and block and go into how it protects paint. Worth taking a look.

Bert- Huh, interesting that Ford clear is hard these days. I`ve only done Crown Vics, and those were always good examples of "Medium", far easier to correct that my GMs/Audis.

On the marring, I don`t want to be all fixed-mindset about it..just don`t see how it`s possible. TBH I doubt I`ll watch the video (I`ve never watched a full Detailing video in my life!), but maybe I oughta rethink that if I`m gonna go positing my opinions In the meantime, I`ll look forward to any updates if/when you redo. And yeah...the right lighting/inspection conditions can be, uhm...enlightening. My biggest challenges are usually related to stuff that can only be seen under specialized conditions.
