Aloha from Hawaii. I recently saw some pictures of an auto that one of you did and I can not locate the thread. The products used were as follows:



Meguiars #85 Diamond Cut

Meguiars #83 Dual Action CLeaner/Polish (DACP)

3M PI-III MG (Perfect-It III Show Car Machine Glaze)

1Z MP

Meguiars GC (new formula)

OCW



Please advise if the above can be applied with a PC orbital

What is 1Z MP, Meguirs GC, and OCW????



I was soooo impressed with the results that the mystery detailer had that I copied their products and order of application.



Please advise!!!!
 
You can/should not use #85 with a PC. GC = Gold Class. 1Z Metalic Polish. Good results can be achieved with a thousand differnt combinations - there is no magic products or combination of products.

(1) There are guys on this board with immense talents -- and the final look of the car really is 90% preparation of the surface and 10% product selection. I could use the same products and not get the same results as some of these pros.



Megs GC = Gold Class Line of Products.



OCW = Optimum Car Wax -- a spray-on wax that works great

1Z MP = Einszett 1Z Metallic Polish

It really depends on your car's conditions. There's no need for Diamond Cut if you only have minor swirls. DACP with PC can produce great surface prep already. You can follow that with 2 coats of MG GoldClass wax. There are tons of combinatin you can use to produce a show car finish. You just have to find what works best for you and your car.

Which is not to say that some products aren't generally better (ugh, that's a bad word to use here... what's "better" mean in this context :o ).



The PI-III MG is a truly great, very versatile product that's getting hard to find. Ditto for the Pro version of 1Z MP, which is (was?) unique in its combination of abrasives and whatever glaze/synthetic wax it left behind.



In the case of the Cayenne and the Solstice, even a detailer of ebpcivicsi's abilities would've been stuck at an impasse without, in this case, the PI-III MG. Sometimes, albeit very rarely, you *need* a particular product to get a particular result under particular circumstances.



Heh heh, and on another thread I just posted that most people only need #80 and a wax! It really is all relative and dependent on the situation at hand.
