Abbreviations

[jp2175]

I've been detailing professionally for 12 years, but only on the forum for a couple of months. Could someone please list all of the abbreviations that seem to be used for products and such with their actual corresponding names. I'm always open to learning new processes or about different polishes and waxes, but not if I don't know what they are. Thanks in advance

There's new stuff that isn't on here, but most of the abbreviations are listed here:

It hasn't been updated for a while so here is a link that has some of the newer acronyms listed:

Thank you very much. Now I don't feel so stupid....although I haven't tried to remember that many symbols since college.

Part of the frustration, for me at least, is that so many of the abbreviations are 2 characters long and the search engine here requires 3. I've been known to use the advanced search feature on Google to search, limiting my search to this domain.

^^ Great idea because quite a few times I have wanted to search for a specific abbreviation but the three letter minimum really inhibits my progress.

Here's a tip that might help you out. If you search for 80 (as in Meg's #80 polish) it won't work because it's only 2 characters. But if you add an * to it, and search for 80* it will work (like a wildcard).
