I`m really curious about this and it has more to do with paint than the product itself.



Ok, so I polished my car with this and noted when I got to a lower panel that the pad turned red(my car color, obvious). But on upper panels I got no red residue. I`m assuming this car was repainted, since I`ve noted spots of overspray.



My guess is the lower panels weren`t clearcoated. Because, when you use a polish on a clearcoat you`ll never see any residue on the pad because it is clear, right?







On non-clearcoats, you`ll see plenty of paint on the pad. I realized this while trying polish on a toolbox. So, lets take a factory paint job. If you ever notice some paint on your applicator does that mean the clearcoat is gone. Since a clearcoat is between you and the colorcoat. Am I right on all of this?

That doesnt meant the CC is gone, it just means you have single stage paint.

I am not a big fan of Scratch X at all. I really like Megs Clearcoat Body Scrub though (if you can find it!)

Thanks guys, so base and clear are mixed together then sprayed as one.
