The use of VM?

Hey guys, I've heard that VM has great filling properties (Yes I know REAL detailers remove defects they don't fill them...) anyways... I was curious where VM would fit into a line up consisting of any of the following:



Wash

kAIO

VM

Carnauba or Z5pro (ZFX)



Good idea? Bad idea?
 
VM is an AIO like Klasse, but fills a good deal more and leaves a carnauba base instead of a sealant base. I don't think it would play very nicely with Z5.
 
I concur that KAIO and VM are largely redundant, and that Zaino will never stick on top of VM's oils. Simplify your process to wash, VM and a 'nuba and you will be good to go.
 
KAIO= a good chemical cleaner with a little acrilic protection

VM = light cut abrasives and oils that fill

RMG = VM with less abrasives and more filling oils

Pink Moose (50/50 RMG/VM, thanks Scottwax) =more abrasives and more oils that fill



so if you are working with something like Zano or SG that need a clean surface to bond to

then VM, RMG are a no no



but work well with EXP and/or a nuba

and works well on SS paint that likes the oils

Close. What you intended to say is Pink Moose, Scottwax's custom mix. Pink Wax is an FK1 product. On my call to Clearkote yesterday he pointed out that he's now selling a Pink Moose Combo pacck. He's not mixing the Pink Moose because he figures everyone might want a different ratio. It includes RMG, VM, and an empty mixing bottle. Site says you save 6.95 off regular price when you get the combo.

I know he's a beta tester for them and gets free samples. In case Scottwax reads this, he also told me to mention to you that he's considering a new product to send for testing sometime soon, a paste wax. Of course, everyone should keep that confidential. ;) :chuckle:

WOW great idea, i might have to pick this up
 
Interesting, thanks all for the heads up! I will use this stuff prior to nuba instead of AIO. Sounds like it'll help with the filling!

:eek: I didn't even know about it! Didn't know about the paste either. I guess I need to stay in better contact with Mr. Glass!



Definitely a cool idea, one of each and a small bottle mixed. :)

Mixing this stuff requires using a stove right? Does it stink up the place??
