JEWELING --> polish of choice you are using?

[alowe]

I am going to be detailing cars with rather hard clears, Merc, Audi, VW coming up. On the topic of jeweling, I was thinking about a blue pad with PO85RD or trying PO87MC. What is everyones thoughts on pad selection, should i step down further, and what is everyones thoughts on jeweling polish for the MFG I have listed?



Thanks,



Andrew

Noting that I do it by Cyclo, on Audis I do it with 1Z High Gloss or Pro MP using either the blue pads or the white Cyclo ones.



The white Cyclo pad is pretty aggressive for a "finishing" pad (scare-quotes intentional), but on hard clear it seems to work OK. The blue is probably a better choice though...no idea if you`d benefit from anything softer than that, IMO at some point you just don`t need to get any softer than soft-enough.



The Pro MP gives a *slightly* better finish I think, but either is OK on the hard clear. On somewhat softer clear (e.g., my `04 GMC) I liked doing it with 1Z WaxPolishSoft (after the High Gloss).



Yeah, I know...I`m just *so* 1Z-centric The Menzerna FPII would be another good choice, but remember to do all the real correction before you start the jeweling.which you want to do with stuff that`s too mild to eliminate defects.
