Been registered forever, just haven' posted in a long time. But in catching up, I realize I am a newbie, since I no longer automatically decode all the product abbreviations!:whine Anyway, continuing to catch up via old posts, maybe all my outdated knowledge will come in handy for something...

Okay, I'm not a newbie, but this season twice now I've gone to buff out the SG I've applied (very, very thin) and let dry. Unless I use a buffer, I can't get the SG off. A MF towel looks like it removes it, but creates what I would swear to be swirl marks, but aren't. If it wasn't so...

I'd like to share an encouraging word with my fellow newbies. Tonight, I ended up with about an hour and a half to kill. Both cars are clean, and actually looking better than they have in a long time just because I've been paying attention to them - no new products (except the duster). Just...

I'm close to the big day(s) - going to try out claying to prep and AIO/SG/wax to finish. My question is, should I use anything (like FI or SMR) between the clay & the AIO? My inclination is that I don't - I've already gotten the swirl marks out of both cars, and I don't see any noticible...
