Has anyone polished or compounded flat black paint? What was the end result? I tried painting a hardtop and ended up with unevenness and splotchiness and I'm wondering if compounding may even the gloss or just compound the problem:hairpull

Tried this combo out today with a wool pad. UC cuts pretty well but you do need to increase the speed. I found that speed 4 of 6 worked the best. I didn't have sling issues or dusting issues. I was using an older thin version with a sprayer. One thing I did learn today is that UC on an orange...

Well, I read this on another site and figured I'd mention it here. A guy claims that bunched up womens stockings or pantyhose works great to removed bugs from the front valance. Basically bunch it up and dip it in a soapy bucket and rub across the paint. So guys you now have an excuse if your...

New Polymer Product From Soy Oil, Not Petroleum ScienceDaily (May 5, 2008) — Hair-care products, wound-care dressings and drug encapsulation are among the potential uses of new, soy-oil-based polymers known as "hydrogels," developed by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Peoria...

In my quest to find a OTC no rinse I hit the cleaning supplies isle at WM. I found 2 potential floor cleaner products that fit the criteria. The first is Murphy's Oil Soap which claims to be rinseless and safe for painted surfaces such as cars. Contrary to the name MOS does not contain oil but...

With the advent of Megs UC and 105 which leave such nice finishes for compounds it seems as if the final polishing technique can be changed. In the past you'd compound and then have to use a fairly aggressive polish to remove the hazing. With UC and 105 the finish is so nice you can move to your...

Stopped in Big Lots last week and was looking around and found a bottle of Pearl Glo. It's made by Kit and is acrylic based. That got me interested enough to buy a bottle. I applied it to the hood of my Miata which doesn't have very nice paint-lots of rids. It claims to fill but if it does it...

Well, seeing that my car is 10 years old the dash has started to fade. Interior dressings really didn't improve the situation much so I decided to look for a more permanent solution. I picked up some Duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint. First, be careful to match the paint to your interior trim as...

Our Camaro has developed green spots on the convertible top. They are either mold or pollen that has embedded itself into the fabric. I had a hard time finding something that would remove them. I recently tried Folex and a scrub brush. That resulted in a major improvement. The top is black and...

Can anyone compare these pads?

but only until the end of May. Not all stores are participating though.

I bought my bottle of Ultimate compound about a month and a half ago. I used it once and it's been inside since then. I went to use it tonight and it turned into very thin water like consistency. I went ahead and used it with a Festool wool pad which I picked up at a local wood working shop...
