SVR has a little shameless behaviour in the past
[quote=SVR]Your prep process to me is the cause of the lack of durability of those polymer sealants
A paint cleanser with a compounding pad is like using a wax with a polish pad, it doesn't match.

Use an edge white or blue or lake country equivalent.
Where did you get fireglaze from?
The formula was changed after I bought my first bottle for my XA coupe and was told it was no longer available in adelaide and new formula not as good
Old formula did an awesome job on the coupe.

Note : poly lack is not same as Jeffs

Your missing out mate, CK moose is the second to last step when I work, I have found a new way to finish paint.
CK moose can be used on so many surfaces that it is a big part of my detailing work

Do you have a rotary or orbital polisher?
if so, use prime acrylic after paint correction and CK enhancement to dramatically change the look of the paintwork to unrivalled shine.

Applied Mothers California Gold Pre Wax Cleaner or Bowdens AutoBody PreWax Cleanser by hand and buff off (also w hand) w MF towel. Nvr did use a compounding pad with them.

Had to use 3M white waffle pad (compounding pad) as they only have 2 kinds of pad (white and Black (Finishing) pads) with my Meg's Swirl Remover. They (3M) call their White pad a compounding pad. Dunno why. hehe. Yes, I'm using a Makita 9227 Orbital P.

I only use 3M Black pad to buff off the FireGlaze+ Sealant. Your friend is wrong about FireGlaze. I've got both the Original Strength and Double Strength (New). The New DoubleStrength is definitely better. It buffs off easier too mate. Got it from Jack of http://www.autosealant.com/ He's a cool dude. I keep in touch with him often. Tried to get a dealership from the main company, Ameri-Chem Mfg before but they wanted me to buy like $90,000 worth of FG products. Now that's a shocker for me.hehe. SparkleAuto also sells FG but they told me they only have them in the OriginalStrength. If you are still interested you can visit them in: http://www.sparkleauto.com/fireglaze.html. The New DoubleStrength FG has a thicker viscosity. You can still get originalStrength from a company in Perth, WA. I can't recall the Co.'s name off me head now but if you are still interested just let me know ya and gimme 24hrs.

Do you use your CK moose before Prime Acrylic or after? Would you apply AJ Trigger before or after your CK enhancement? Juz confused with your steps when you said CK enhancement after Prime when I know I have to apply AJ Trigger after Prime. Do you also use CK Compounds to attack most of your Medium to Light Scratches/Swirls?

Thanks for your advise and tips SVR. Has your Prime Acrylics arrived yet?? Have yourself a lovely day mate.

Later

Re: Calling Australian Autopians!!

Please inform us of your results with Zaino. I normally use Menzerna Intensive / FP II using a PC. Followed by Mothers Top Coat and Pinnacle Souveran applied by hand. Have had great results on my last Iris Blue 996, recently upgraded to a Silver 996TT.
Tried the same combo last weekend on the Silver P-car, however requires more shine.

Re: Calling Australian Autopians!!

Welcome jrobbo.

Hey Aussies, I still drop in from time to time but so busy with work, 300CForums, old WB ute and I just bought a '75 El Camino which is in need of a bit of TLC to get on the road.

Good to see the Aussies joining up here. I have learned so much and do my best with my rides given the water restrictions we have here in Melbourne.
