Or is there some stuff that remains new/current
I love my black Scmitt so much for wheelwells..
But if it's just leftover stock out there, I may just have to stock up....(this is one product I don't have a back to the backup) per se.
What/how has your experience been with the newer sealants and waterspotting (OptiCoat, Aquartz/CQuartz).
If you find there is waterspotting, are you guys having a *tough time* doing spot repairs ---- isolated polishing.
Or are you doing considerably more polishing on these sealants in...
I've got a stainless steel item that has slight scratches.
Where should I go to buy what tools and abrasive for it.
The overall finished piece is high polished stainless.
I assume it's going to fit the chuck of a drill.
If it's a grinder.........I'm going to have to clean up my metabos...
Good drying and wash mediums....
I've got a boxful of hand picked thumbless sheepskin mitts that I ~cherry picked~.
I rotate to new mitts probably more often than the average person.

With these *non stick* so called sealants, has you washing regimen changed ?

No soap - just a strong powerful rinse with the pressure washer ?
Pre-foam and the pressure wash off .

I have laid a WW towel ontop and then a heavy bath rug ontop.
I'm convinced to have the wifey sew me up some towels.
So the plan to to get the largest MF I could find which appears...
Paste or Liquid. I suppose carrier oils, and abrasives - similar to paint polishes, just different stuff for the medium intended (metal).
I've tried alot and ALWAYS reach for my favorite metal polish (heavy metal polish) I primarily use their fine metal polish but at times, do reach for the...
I've looked on and off....
Anyone making a extremely deep pile plush towel that is larger than a regular 16x16 MF towel size.
For starters, I use the following towels after a blow dry...

I'll admit, I wash my wheels every 2-3 days and my preferred medium of choice is old retired sheepskin mitts. It generally is too soft to remove soil and grit off a daily driver wheels. I also then follow up with retired microfibers.
Other tools of choice are ACE powersticks, and Swisswax...
I'd prefer to use as little mechanical action as possible on stripping sealant off paint prior to Opticoat application.
Which poison would you pick..
