    I see you used the new Meguires twins. The results were great. How did you like using them? I picked up the two of them, but have not gotten around to trying them out. Just what I really needed, new polishes.

    It turned out pretty sweet for ultra-soft paint.

    Yes, I put the new Megas twins to the test...These are new "from the ground up" formulas.
    IMHO they behave "differently" than other (prior) polishes. Amount of product, process etc.

    They state no (to very little) dusting. I found dusting but it is a different dusting behavior.
    I found dust in the air, not from the pad. It was noticeable when it settled on the paint.
    NOTE: Your results may vary.

    They work fine but IMHO there is a learning curve and again, IMHO they act, work and feel different.
    When you finally get the behavior of the new twins figured out, they work very well with great results.

    Re: 2016 Ford Mustang GT - A Miracle Detailing - Cquartz Professional

    Hey looks beautiful. I have a 16 black mustang also and will be polishing for my 1st time ever. Paint looks to be in same or. better shape. If I’m reading correct you did a “cut” and them polish? How much arm pressure did you put And passes in “cut” stage? I have boss gg15, will be ordering 3” ( deciding between rupes or adams) using essence and clear cut. I have boss yellow pads, LC CCS pads, and will order some megs MF if warranted. Any help would be appreciated and my apologies if asking to much

    Thanks

    Just a side note...1st time polishing = Use someone else`s car. Don`t "learn on your car".

    A paint gauge is a must. HighLine Meter II Paint Thickness Gauge (or equivalent) is good.
    You can measure in Mils or Microns. I prefer Microns and try to remove minimal amount of cc.
    If you are not using a PTG you are polishing blind! This particular paint was pretty swirled out.

    I just did a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS - A Miracle Detailing - CQuartz Professional
    It had a VERY thick PTG reading and as soon as I began correction I had red on the mf pad.
    Yes, there is red color/tint in this particular Camaro clear coat. It sure makes you stop!!!
    I switched to Carpro 5" flash pad with M101. Swirls gone and no red. (see thread).

    Important: Every paint is different! I do a test spot with a medium/light machine speed.
    I use a slight down pressure on the machine head. I do not push or press down hard.
    The most important factors...in order...are product, pad, machine, user (technique).

    There are different abrasive technologies S.M.A.T. and DAT and product/pad work times.
    It may look great when you are done and then you`ll have clear coat failure in 3-6 months.

    I may try 3-4 different compounds and 3-4 different pad types to find what works.
    Remember: When you remove clear coat there is no putting it back! Be gentle!
    Use the least aggressive method to get the job done!

    You may find that Essence with a Carpro Gloss pad may be enough to do the trick.
    Even so, I would start with that to "learn" the machine and the feel of pad and polish.
    Prime the pad, 3-4 pea sized drops, clean the pad after each section and reapply peas.
