I thought I would start with scratch X, then either Megs 80, or P21s GEPC, finish with P21s carnauba wax, cant decide between polish or glaze, any input would be appreciated

Bobbykart- One potential problem is that manufacturers use words like "polish" and "glaze" in different ways, even within their own product lines!



The #80, despite its name, is a mildly abrasive polish. IMO it`s a great product to use when getting acquainted with the PC. Work it until it starts to change from opaque green/brown to semi-translucent/clear and buff it off before it dries completely. It oughta leave things ready-to-wax.

I agree 100% :)

BobyKart- Let us know how things turn out, I bet it`ll go well.



One last bit of advice: work a small area, then a single panel, where you can clearly see what`s going on. Make sure everything`s turning out well before you do the whole vehicle, that way if you need to tweak your approach we can advise you and it won`t be a big deal. I always feel bad when somebody makes a little mistake (*NOT* that I think you will!) and posts back (too late) with a "I [messed] up my whole car" type of problem.
