[Bradley]

:work:

Aloha from Hawaii. I recently saw some pictures of an auto that one of you did and I can not locate the thread. The products used were as follows:



Meguiars #85 Diamond Cut

Meguiars #83 Dual Action CLeaner/Polish (DACP)

3M PI-III MG (Perfect-It III Show Car Machine Glaze)

1Z MP

Meguiars GC (new formula)

OCW



Please advise if the above can be applied with a PC orbital

What is 1Z MP, Meguirs GC, and OCW????



I was soooo impressed with the results that the mystery detailer had that I copied their products and order of application.



Please advise!!!!

You can/should not use #85 with a PC. GC = Gold Class. 1Z Metalic Polish. Good results can be achieved with a thousand differnt combinations - there is no magic products or combination of products.

(1) There are guys on this board with immense talents -- and the final look of the car really is 90% preparation of the surface and 10% product selection. I could use the same products and not get the same results as some of these pros.



Megs GC = Gold Class Line of Products.



OCW = Optimum Car Wax -- a spray-on wax that works great

It really depends on your car`s conditions. There`s no need for Diamond Cut if you only have minor swirls. DACP with PC can produce great surface prep already. You can follow that with 2 coats of MG GoldClass wax. There are tons of combinatin you can use to produce a show car finish. You just have to find what works best for you and your car.

Which is not to say that some products aren`t generally better (ugh, that`s a bad word to use here... what`s "better" mean in this context :o ).



The PI-III MG is a truly great, very versatile product that`s getting hard to find. Ditto for the Pro version of 1Z MP, which is (was?) unique in its combination of abrasives and whatever glaze/synthetic wax it left behind.



In the case of the Cayenne and the Solstice, even a detailer of ebpcivicsi`s abilities would`ve been stuck at an impasse without, in this case, the PI-III MG. Sometimes, albeit very rarely, you *need* a particular product to get a particular result under particular circumstances.



Heh heh, and on another thread I just posted that most people only need #80 and a wax! It really is all relative and dependent on the situation at hand.
