I will be heading out with my car for a 10 day trip. I really just don`t have the time to polish/wax it properly. However, for my client meet, I would love to have the car mint.





I do have a about a 3 hour window to work on the paint prior to leaving. What`s a good combo that will make the car look mint. It`s black. While I currently keep it clean and it`s *shiny*, it just doesn`t have the depth that it does after a good polishing.





I`m going through my stash I think a 2 step is where I want to go with.



Meguairs #81 followed by NXT

3M SMR followed by NXT



1Z Metallic PP followed by S100

GEPC followed by S100





I would prefer going with the last 2 choices, but I don`t think MP or GEPC fills/hides the scratches. I have plenty of micromarring & some slight swirls. I was planning Memorial weekend for a full polish , but the trip is prior to that.

Going back old school ! I found a bottle of 3m PI-III Finishing Glaze.





If memory serves me ( haven`t used the 3M in a long while) -

the 3M PI-III Finish Glaze ( PC with Grey Pad) with S100 is almost as great combo as #81 with NXT or S100.





I know the 3M will require me to take out the PC........
