Last year, I tried DG 521 and was really impressed. At about the same time, I have been reading on Autopia-popular QD's and ordered a gallon of FK425. I liked this one too although here in Phoenix, AZ, I haven't really found FK425's anti-static ability useful. Dust here is terrible. FK425...

I've heard many good things about CMW and would want to try it. However, I still have a good amount of Natty's Blue and S100. Durability is not a concern. I'm more concerned about looks. Is it worth it to spend the extra $$$ to buy CMW? Why or why not? I have a black Lexus GS300 (solid...

I have a 2006 Lexus GS300 with solid black paint which is known to be soft. I want to try Menzerna finishing polishes. Which finishing polish should I get? Thanks for the help.

For all who have used both, which do you prefer in terms of looks, correction of micromarring and light swirls, ease of use, etc.? I'm not so concerned about durability since I'll be applying a wax or sealant after. Do any of these AIO's contain fillers? Your input is appreciated.

Anybody know the difference between 3M Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze (Part #39009) for dark colors and 3M Ultrafina? Can Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze be used as a finishing polishing just like Ultrafina? Thanks.

I see a lot of Click and Brags' processes and quite a few apply AIO, such as KAIO, ZAIO or OPS after polishing. Do you apply AIO after polishing to remove marring left by the polish? I always see application of a wax or sealant after the AIO so I don't think applying AIO as LSP is the reason...

Reading about the Flex has aroused my curiosity. Where can I buy this? I really don't need any polishes or pads that's included in a kit. All I want is the Flex. Who has the best deal at this time? Also, can I use 6.5 inch LC CCS pads with the backing plate that comes standard with it?

I read on this forum that one of the benefits of an alcohol wipedown is to prepare the surface for maximum bonding of a sealant after the polishing step. However, wouldn't alcohol strip any oils or any specific material that gives the surface the shine, depth and wetness you desire? My...

I've always been under the impression that one needs to use only one product for each pad. If I clean the pad after each use, what is the harm in using more than one product per pad? Can I use one polishing pad for OP and SSR2.5 and maybe one finishing pad for 2 brands of sealant? Or even...

I've noticed that both AG and Proper Auto Care have Menzerna PO106FF and Intensive Polish but are packaged differently. PAC has smaller bottles for $15-16 each but AG only sells in larger bottles. Is there any difference between the 2? Perhaps one is a newer formulation? Thanks.

anybody heard of "jorgen's"?

Am I able to apply Vanilla Moose or RMG over a sealant such as DG105 then top it off with a nuba like Natty's Blue? I don't think I can apply a sealant over a Clearkote glaze. Thanks.

I'm considering trying Optimum polish and Poli-seal in a couple months. I have read in this forum about the long working time. Does this mean that I'm going to spend more time per panel until the polish completely breaks down, thus giving me my desired finish? If that's the case, would I be...

I have been using Megs #80 to remove swirls and although it works, it leaves some micromarring which I have to remove with Megs #66 (cleaner wax). This is another step I have to do. I have a 2006 Lexus GS300 with black onyx paint. Can anyone recommend a polish to remove light swirls and...

I was at Lowe's today and saw this on sale for $1 per bottle. I bought 2. Anyone tried this? What do you think? I currently use DG Aquawax as my spray wax of choice but I just could not resist this for $1.
