i didnt get those i change my mind and got Lake Country Hydro-Tech 5 1/2

The HydroTech pads should be fine, though IIRC some people find they don't always last too long. I've never tried them, but AFAIK the tangerine ones are similar to the Griot's pads that I like so much.

Wonder if it'll come off OK at all?

I'd try 3M Adhesive Remover. Find a way to hold a saturated rag on the glue for an extended dwell-time (maybe lean a 2x4 against the rag to hold it in place).

Yeah, it can do that, especially in the heat (JUST used some to remove an old decal this morning). Only way I've found to work around that is to really saturate the rag and hold it where it needs to be. Maybe even add more by gently squirting some into the rag while it's in place.

I have just about everything I need I order some cg diablo gel and some sonax Fe...I used the cg with there coon wheel brush and found out that I didn't mix it right LOL...I use a cap full in 32 oz of water LOL....I've been looking at picking up some opti-coat 2.0 to add to my collection. Also I got a sample of the wolf final glaze 3.0 to use..how do you all feel about that. I wanted to use 105 to gg polish 3 to wolf final glaze...mabe in the next 2 weeks I'm going to get a electric power washer and menzerna nano polish to replace the gg polish 3 since I've read that its a great two step polish...is there anything else I need to add to my collection?

hares1370- Dunno about that Glaze; if you do the polishing well it might not make any significant diff

I still think that going from M105 to GG MP#3 is too big of a jump, NO WAY would I be satsified with that. M105 to GG MP#2 to MP#3 would be more like it.

Remember that M105 is designed to be followed with M205, which is a whole lot different from GG MP#3, at least IME.

Eh, the Wolf's glaze might conceal any issues from that big jump, but it's not the way *I* would want to do the work.

So I think you oughta buy something in-between the M105 and the GG MP#3.

What're you planning to use the OptiCoat on?

The gg 3 is a 3 on the aggressive scale while 205 is a 2....ima just buy it so ill have it on hand....the only thing on the scale I see is the power clean by menzerna

Beware of "aggressiveness scales" that compare disparate products

Meguiar's M205 cuts a lot more for me than any version of GG MP#3 ever did (like...simply no comparison, gotta even be a *little* careful using M205 on chrome plating), but maybe they've reformulated the latter.

Note that the GG Hand Polish is basically a filler product, virtually zero correction.

Do a test spot with the glass polish before doing your whole windshield/etc. with it.
