Hey Moe!

My girlfriend (a wonderful person--should have met her 30 years ago) is in the process of replacing an aging minivan. As a local businesswoman, she would prefer to do business at the local Ford dealership where I have purchased numerous vehicles, and have a great realtionship with the staff.



She is close to buying a nicely-equipped '06 Mercury Mariner (Ford Escape) in great shape with very low miles.



It has dark brown metallic paint, and a tan leather interior. Both the paint and the interior are in very good shape (very little marring, and believe me, I looked).



I was about to order the 4-ounce sizes of Optimum Polish and Poliseal from Excel, because I wanted to try them. They will be likely used on the Mariner with my PC.



For an LSP, I have IW, Natty's Blue, and an unopened tin of #16.



Any comments on the Optimum products (I know-gotta work them), or any comments on the LSP, and leather products available from Excel?



I'd really like to do well with this project. In addition to being my girlfriend, she is also my landlady, and I probably have the only appartment in town with an outside water faucet, an outside electrical outlet for the PC, and an icemaker, a dishwasher, and XM radio inside.



Now, it is my turn. Any comments?
 
I have found Mercury's clearcoat to be somewhat hard, however Optimum Polish and LC's white polishing pad should be aggressive enough to remove the light marring. I like the look of FK1's Pink Wax on light colored vehicles, very reflective. That being said, I've also used Natty's Blue on light colored finishes and have been very pleased with the results.



P.S. - Interested in parting with the #16?
 
I'm a big fan of XMT's line of polishes. They work very very well with the PC. I also have and use the Optimum line up as well, but I usually grab for the XMT's first. XMT recently came out with their XMT #4, which is a heavy duty compound designed for use with the PC. Also came out with 360 which is there AIO.



Whenever I hear metalic paint, I like to grab DP's MaxWax. Really brings out the metallics for me.
