difference between SMR and FI II comment s on my plan

[Michaelelts]

Well I just graduated from my waxmaster 9000 to a PC 7424. Good thing as I have a fleet of cars to maintain! 1st question is I have some FI II and jsut bought a bottle of 3m SMR. My cars do not have swirls as much as they have the typical very light haze in a circualar pattern from using towels to dry. I plan to just light polish with the either FI or SMR . Right now the Supra has a layer of AIO with about 3 coats of the sealent and a layer problably now gone of Ps219 have not detailed in a year althought the car sits in garage mostly and does not see rain. The Lexus is my daily and it only has a coat of Ps21 which incrediably still beads water after a year. The wifes TL is typical all scratched up as she beats on it that has the newest aio and sg malms wax on it and lastly the kids focus which was also aio and sged. any suggestions appreciated David

Nice to see a Supra Turbo without the wing :xyxthumbs



Generally, the kind of marring you're describing is too much for SMR. Plan on having to use the FI-II to remove the worst of it.



FWIW, since I *never* seem to see Malm's mentioned here at Autopia, the Malms green polish is a good alternative to the FI-II. In fact, I like it better.
