I know the `noobs` post this all the time. I`ve been lurking for a bit, gumptioned up the intestinal fortitude to ask....
I`ve got a lot of product, here`s a rundown of the stuff I have right now.
PC orbital polisher
Griots machine polish 2,3
4x griots orange pads
1x griots red wax pad
griots wax removal bonnet
griots clay
meg`s best of class wax
3 bottles quick detailer
1 bottle nxt detailer
1 bottle nxt spray wax
1 bottle griots speed shine
that`s most of the exterior stuff-I`ve got the cursory turtle wax, etc. for the `guest` polishing...won most of the meg`s stuff at car shows, and griots is real close to the house. (BTW, their cord winder is awesome...)
My only critique of the griots stuff, is that it doesn`t seem to work real fast. I tried to polish out some swirls and scratches on the jetta this week, and after mach. pol. 2, and three, they were still there. I`ve got some experience behind the buffer, but it doesn`t seem to yield a real good time v. results ratio with the products I have. What would be a better set of polishes that I could use with most of what I have, to minimize my outlay right now? It works OK on the rabbit, but it could be better, but the jetta always has some swirlies, even though I try and be careful not to put them back..
TIA.
here`s some pix of the rabbit, took first at this show..it`s original 1977 paint!!!
(and I polished the wheels and did the TDI install myself as well)
