3M PIII Machine Glaze

HI,

Ive found that when using 3M PIII Machine Glaze when I apply to much product or when I dont work the product straight away ( ie, doing a large pannels and leaving the glaze unattended on the pannel) it tends to cake up. I Find I need to clean my pad frequently and if caking occurs I mist either water or Qd on the area and go over it again. The heat would of also helped to.

I also like to start a detail with a woolen pad. I find it difficult to get the surface perfect without it.

Hope it helps.

Yeah, I have 2 3M polishing pads so I clean them out a lot now when using the Machine Glaze and it seems to help a lot.

I agree, you get the cleanest surface with wool.
 
I use the 3M compound with a wool cutting pad and I love what it can do for the finish.

For caking what I have done is wipe the pap down with a towel after every use to keep the buildup sown and use a spray bottle with water. It keeps the caking down I use spary and wipe to remove the resdue that is left after the first pass.
 
That's nice work 02.

I guess that Mercedes dealer doesn't have a detailer. Hard to believe they would let a car in that condition off of their lot.
 
awesome job, really impressive.

Just wondering why you used a joy or dawn wash, just a thought but it seems a little unnecessary to do this when you are just going to use a compound.

I use joy and clay the car at the same time. I use the soap as a lub for the clay. I probably dont have to use clay when I am going to compound but I like to make sure I get everything off the paint. I will have some pictures of my Dads new (new to him) black bmw, all I will say is that I have spent about 15 hours on it.
