1Z recommendations

[74 thing]

Can someone recommend some 1Z products to be used by hand to remove swirls in tight spots - for instance under the door handles. I need one for single stage paint and another for clear coat. I heard that this product line is good by hand. Thanks.

Absolutely, I use 1Z Ultra/Extra Polish (forget which name they're using these days, it's in a yellow can) for that exact application- behind the door handles on our Audis (hard clear). They say not to use it on b/c paint but that's just a disclaimer to keep people from doing dumb stuff, it's OK to use but it'll need a follow up with a milder product.



On the Audis, my exact process is (product/polishing media) 1z Ultra/terry, 1z Ultra/MF, 3M PI-III RC 05933/MF, PI-III MG 05937/MF, 1z Pro MP/MF, LSP.



You could substitute the 1Z Paint Polish (green can) for both the PI-III products if you want but it'll take a little longer. In that case I'd use the Ultra until things are basically the way you want them so the PP only has to remove the micromarring from that. The PP might leave a ready-to-wax finish, hard to say. But I like to follow up with MP on "good" cars.



If the paint is very soft you *might* be able to skip the Ultra, but I sure wouldn't count on it
