Me too. I sometimes can see them (or any marring at all) at work under the parking lot lights. They are the pinkish orange colored and they will actually show stuff that you CANNOT see in the sun. That is the worst lighting ever


Every now and then a low watttage incansent will show marring too, but its hard to get the angles just right.

for 106FF we can get holograms for not buffing it long enough.
will we get holograms for buffing it too long? will the 106FF dry ?

scary bill- Yeah, I'm a big fan of incandescents. I'd like to figure out which of those outdoor lights is just right and where to get some...Too late to install them in my shop's ceiling, but maybe I could mount them on one of my halogen's tripods or something.

After thinking about it, maybe they are mercury-vapor bulbs with a colored lens. The lens is probably to inhibit flying bugs from gathering.

I've never figured out just *what* they are mercury, sodium...sure don't want to buy anything until I know for certain

Buffer trails are mostly caused by overworking a polish and the foam pad thus runs out of lubrication and marrs the finish

I don't recommend the ceramiclear Menzerna polishes on soft paint, the abrasives are too sharp for them and will leave marring or scratches

Go back to PO91L and PO87MC-MF instead
