I`m debating on what products to buy.



I recently PC`d my 99 Z28 with tc-8 and it failed to remove all the swirls. I was wondering if I should step up to OP and a yellow pad or if FPII would be stronger than tc-8 and strong enough to remove moderate swirls.



My car is pewter, and I saw a picture of a silver car on here done with FPII and DP Max Wax, and I want to try that combo in this car because that car looked amazing.



Anybody have experience with these?

FP2 is very mild, I`d suggest IP for swirls followed by FP2

How about FPII`s finish compare to those expensive 85RD stuff?

RD is always going to be better. FP II is damn nice but in actual fact the old FP 1 PO87MF sometimes gives a wetter finish than II

How is tc-8? Is it a very mild product. Search really turns up nothing about it.

Is there to be any real difference if I buy and use FPII as opposed to jsut using the Tc-8 I have? I use #7 before any sealant or wax coats anyway.



Would IP be a better recomandation for higher cut that OP?

Are you finding your camaro paint to be really hard? My 99 SS NBM paint seems ultra hard.

From everything I`ve heard, yes it is very hard. I`m no expert by any means, but applying tc-8 via PC did hardly anything for my light swirls. It seemed though, that the black on the sidemirrors and sailpanal responded better t tc-8?

Use the TC8 if it works for you. Mennzerna is probably a bit better of a product tho
