Couldn't find much in a search. I have heard from here it is ok to top a nuba with optiseal. I want to top p21s 100% with OS. But from my experience optiseal is not very slick. Will opti seal over p21s take away the slickness?

I've been seeing the 3m waxes and QD's showing up more and more in autoparts stores and AG is advertising them a lot too. I'm having trouble finding any info or reviews on this stuff. I know they make good compounds but what about the performance finish and the quick wax and sperfect-it...

I have some P21s 100 on the way and I'm planning using it as a topper for a base coat of DG105 on Dark metallic blue. I haven't used a nuba for years and was wondering what QD I should use with it. I curently use DG521 and aqua wax but I don't know how those will react with the P21s.

I just picked up some DG601 and 105. I've been using 501 topped with 111 and have liked the results but decided to try 105 based off of reviews on here. SO my question. If I lay a base coat of 501 do I need to lay down 601 before 105? and since 105 has some cleaners in it will it take off the...

I use clay magic blue clay so it doesn't come with a nice box. I am storing it in a little plastic container that seals tight and I fill it up with QD and store the clay. Is this alright to do? Will it prematurely wear out the clay?
