    Have a look at a pic of my Skyline R33 GTR.Im striving for the same sort of finish as i had last year but cant seem to get it again even after using the same products--WHY.



    I stripped the wax back using some Megs all purpose cleaner dilluted with 20 parts water.I then used some SSR1 on a polishing pad from my 7424.I then added 2 layers of Natty`s to finish it off.I dont have any recent pics to show the finish but its certainly not the same effect.I have started using a few layers of EX-P and the Natty`s , it helps but not quite as nice....



    I always get confused with depth, reflective and wet--so how would you describe this finish( no harsh words please..lol)..Remember its silver and hard to get to pop...

    That to me is pretty wet but lacking in depth. But that`s pretty characteristic of silver and light colors in general. I`ve seen that AIO followed by UPP gives great metallic pop on any metallic color.

    I would say you need something with a bit more cut than SSR1, such as 2 or 2.5, followed by 1, and then Natty`s. For me, polishing always brings up the most depth, the wax is just the icing on the cake.

    I went for 2.5 once a few months ago with the pc at 5 on a light cut Edge 2000 pad.Did make a difference to the light swirls.Have since gone for SSR1 since them with a polishing pad.



    Im looking for a very reflective look, something that doesnt mute the metalic in the paint..So any suggestions, im always up for trying new products.
