Should I purchase RMG if I already have VM?

I wouldnt be without both now, I choose one od the other depending on paint shape/conditionon other peoples car, and use both for added wetness on my own.

So you pick RMG for newer better finishes and VM for finishes that need more attention?

Yeah thats the noraml routine for me. If I havent got power or the PC out I also go with VM.



On my own car, i do both though! :2thumbs:
 
VM first for me here, Sonus Green with PC.



Followed By RMG, Sonus Blue with PC.



Then LSP.



VM with a polishing pad seems to clean up paint really well, and RMG then adds to the look.

Thanks for the info.



Looks like I'll be ordering RMG soon.
 
Sorry to oppose everyone, but I don't think buying RMG is worth it if you already have VM. I have both and really have a hard time seeing differences between the two. If your running low on VM, I can understand switching to RMG, but if you have a decent amount of VM I would just hold off on that order, unless you really have an itching to spend money.
 
I got to put in my two cents. RMG & VM is a glaze both have there purpose and both are for paint that’s in good condition. RMG is more of a conditioner for aged cars, say a few years old that are in simi good shape that need extra more attention to revive paint that is best used with a machine, VM is more of a dressing/topper for a sweet look.

If old paint needs to be revived, then it probably need an abrasive polishing. RMG as far as i know has very little ,if any bite.



I would only be bothered with the one if it were me.

I think you have that backwards. I think RMG enhances the finish/increases depth and VM has some (but not much) paint correction propeties but not much on enhances the surfaces. IMHO.
 
Both are a glaze, a machine glaze is different then a hand glaze a machine glaze is made for a specific propose and that is to bring back oils deeper into the paint though heat created from the pad. Or you can use RMG for filling in fine micro scratches & paint corrections. VM is a hand glaze both does the same thing but differently. Depleted oils and fine micro scratches is the best way to go is to use a machine glaze (RMG).



There are all kinds of glazes out there made for specific purposes some are made for beat up old cars not worth much $ that is used to cover up the scratches and that’s it. There are glazes for the finer sweet polish paint in good shape, a glaze for dark paint, a glaze for show cars and the hand glaze originally made for places missed by machine glazing and fresh painted cars. VM is a new one for me its in between a show car glaze and reg hand glaze its in field by its self. I’m no glaze expert.
 
For me the VM does more paint correction with polishing pad, I follow this up with RMG on a finishing pad for more depth. gloss and wetness on my own car.



VM contains some light abbrassives, the RMG as I understand more chemical cleaners.



I would'nt be without both in my armoury.
