Hi there, since paint hardness/softness is to be taken into account when polishing a car, I'd like to know from experienced users, whether corolla's clear coats are generaly soft or quite hard ? I'd tend to think they're soft, and have heard so, but I prefer to ask it here. Best regards...

I washed both doors on the passenger side, and tested 3M's PI III machine glaze on one, and Meg's #83 on the other. Honestly, I cannot see much of a difference, expept maybe a wee bit leaning towards PI III machine glaze. I used Meg's polishing pad for both doors. Meg's is rated 6 out of 10 on...

Has anyone ever had problem with 3M's 5937 machine glaze, which is a swirl remover ? Why am I asking ? Cause on my single stage red repaint car, it introduced on heck of a lot of buffer swirls, it's beyond awful, tons and tons and tons of buffer scratches. Yesterday it looked fine under the...

I started out buffing my hood with Meg'S #83 + Meg's polishing pad, then after I'd buffed each area, I'd wipe it off with QD, or even wash it to make sure no oils or fillers were stil there to hide the true paint. Couple days later, still on the hood, I decided to use a leftover of 3M's 5937...

#83 + Meg's finisning pad appears to deliver fine results. I wonder, has anyone used #83 at 1300-1400 rpm with Meg's finishing pad, as a one successful step ? The reason I ask is I used it today on a car whose paint is a repaint (red), and 98% of cobwebs are gone now, leaving a rich red sheen...

Hi, I'm using a rotary buffer with Meg's finishing pad + #82, and I get holograms, are they created by applying too much pressure on the pad, or too little product, or moving the buffer too slowly ? Let me know... Thanks in advance

Hey all , very simple question that is today's : have some of you found that Meg's polishing pad was too harsh in some paint (creating buffer scratches), while Meg's finishing pad being too soft to polish off those fine buffer scratches ? By the way, I'm clerly referring to a rotary buffer...

3M's pads--buffer scratches ?? Hey, today I was using #83, and #82 with 3M's convoluted polishing pad at 1800 rpm, which created LOTS of buffer scratches--that is very fine scratches going in circles, matching the pad's radius. Then I moved to 3M's 5937 Machine glaze, which is suited to be...

Hey all, I'd like to know, when you inspect the finish for swirls : a) Do you do it under bright sunlight only ? b) Do you wipe off any excess filler oil, after polishing, to *make sure* some swirling isn't hidden instead of removed ? Best...

Hey all, anyone has any idea how many passes with DACP, it'd take for one to break through the paint coat of a single stage paint (roughly). I'd like to know in order to *best* get an idea of it's abrasiveness in real situations. I know it's ranked 6 out of 10, on the abrasiveness scale, but...

Hey all, Prior to buffing I primed my pad with Meg's QD (consumer's line, not #34), then proceeded to buff out a section, but then noticed the pad had that reddish/rosy color to it......has this happen to any of you ? I was and still am a bit nervous about it, as the paint on my girlfriend's...

I'd really like to know whether the rotary alone can remove *all* of them swirls ? I've asked numerous people to get as good and accurate an idea as possible, and now I'm asking it here, hoping Mike will chime in. I've been told by guys with 14 years of experience with the rotary that it's...

Hey all, would you think it is impossible to get a swirl free finish buffing outside ? I'm ben trying to remove them swirls, and I did remove lots of them, but can,t remove them all. I've tried polishing, finishing pads, with different speed, pressure, polish, light cut compounds, and still no...
