    Mothers Reflection, is it a sealant?

    I am confused about this one. So is Reflection a wax, sealant or what? I've read posts where ppl mentioned they would use Reflection to clean up the paint a little bit. huh... :think: Also does it contain any abrasives? Meaning can I layer reflection one coat after another? :work:

    Is Mothers Reflection considered as a sealant?

    So is it? I am using #80 -> #81 -> reflection. Also would it help to lay down more then on layer of glaze (any benefits at all?) (#81)

    Should I skip #80 & #81 and go right to wax?

    I just spent 6 hours washing and claying the entire car. It was longer then expected and i am glad it's over with. Now before I started I noticed there were some minor scratches and micro-marring on the 1 year old paint. After I finished claying, most of these scratches and marring...

    A little confused on #80

    I am just not exactly sure on how to use this product. So do I apply a thin layer and keep rubbing it (with the applicator) until it turns clear (so the abrasion is fully broken down) and apply more as needed? As for #81 and Reflection, it's just apply and haze and wipe right???

    WTB: I've decided to use #80, follow by #81 by hand...

    So after many debates I have decided #80 follow by #81 by hand is the best for me. Where can purchase these? I want them both from a single online store (I checked my local stores they only had #2, #6, #7, #9, #26, #34). Btw, if you must know, I have a dark blue 1 year old car that's never...

    I went to PepBoys and saw a bottom of Mothers Reflection but wasn't sure if it's new one or the old one. That one has a black car in the picture and the it's the round red bottle. Don't they come in the paste form or is it liquid form only?
