Hello Everyone



i'm fairly new, but i am obsessed about keeping my car looking good and i'm sure i'm not the only obsessed one out there ... heck, sometimes i open the door for my mom just because i dont like her nails scratching underneath the door handle ... (but i am a gentlman as well of course)



First off, i'm not blessed enough to have a PC but my hand is still young ... can i use 3M's Fine Cut Compound affectively by hand? i am aware that SMR can be used by hand, but it is primarily fillers. Being that i wish to take out swirls, what compound or other product can i use affectively for this by hand?



Secondly, i have the privalege of living in York, Pa ... let me translate ... S100 products are a step away at the Harley Plant and Store ... i've just recently started to use it and i love it, but i would like to see what giving the car a base of AIO would do before waxing. my question then i guess, would be what should i use in between compounding and AIO? maybe SMR or meg's #3 machine polish? will all that be fine underneath of AIO, or will the AIO negate or take off any fillers or anything? thanks for any help
 
Volvolove- Welcome to Autopia. As you suspect, AIO will remove fillers/oils/etc. And Meg's #3 doesn't have any abrasives so it won't really remove any swirls anyhow. Two products that work fine for me (by hand) are 3M's PIII RC (05933) and MG (05937). Any residue they might leave (uncommon, but it happens) will be easily removed by the AIO. I'd just get those two products. The RC is VERY mild as those kind of products go and the MG is a great mild polish to use before AIO for minor swirls.
 
Volvolove...You're in the right place if you're OC (obsessive-compulsive). We all are and it's great fun!!!



Meguiars Scratch-X is designed to be used by hand. It's desinged for light scratch and swirl removal. That may work.



Save your pennies and go for the PC. Once you do you'll truly be hooked on detailing!!!
