you bought all the different grades of wool and foam?

I use the yellow and green wool and the blue foam. So far I like them a lot.

Re: I found my favorite light compound/polish! OTC too

I've got a question.

Could a guy use Presta ultra cutting creme light in a 3-step waxing process? Such as:

1)Wash vehicle
2)Meguires paint cleaner
3)Presta ultra cutting creme light
4)Finish off with a wax

Thanks for clearing this up!

Re: I found my favorite light compound/polish! OTC too

While I am still waiting for my Presta line-up to arrive, I think you'll need an intermediate step following the UCCL...such as Z*PC or the Presta #1500.

I'm sure Ryan can share more thoughts on this.

Are you using a PC? What color?

If so a simple process would be

Wash
clay
ultra cutting creme light w/pc on yellow LC pad or white pad depending on paint
presta swirl remover, zpc or 106ff on a white lc pad
wax or sealant

I would use the swirl remover instead of 1500 on white pad w/pc. The 1500 is more of a rotory high speed polish.

Nice looking car. Man the things I could do with that.BLING!
