    Question regarding 2nd polish

    OK - the experts needed here - This is a new camaro 2SS delivered last week.

    I did use Meg`s 205, on a Griot`s 6 and Blackfire sealant and it came out great -the paint is cured of water spots...

    see here:
    New 2ss water spots - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com

    Now it`s a week later and I`d like to jewel it a bit (and I like doing it). I plan to hit it with Menzerna 4500 finishing polish and a softer pad and then back to blackfire sealant. Or maybe BF GEP instead of 4500 - which jewels better?

    The question is - the surface feels slick and I did clay it last weekend...I have a new "fine" speedy prep towel - should I use it, or go straight to the 4500? Can you clay too much?

    If the surface is already smooth to the touch, claying/speedy prep won`t accomplish anything

    Do the baggie test. If it passes, polish away.

    GEP is a paint cleanser. No abrasives.
