Strange name, ain't it?
I'd like to get opinions on something I've done more than a few times without any problems, but as of late, have shyed away from feeling something wasn't right. I was shown this by a guy who regularly detailed a collection of Ferraris, Jags and Bentleys. The only difference is where he was using a professional polisher, I'm using a homeowner Sears Orbital that I've had for many years (I can already see the comments on the Sears orbital coming).
Using a terry bonnet, swirl some #7 mirror glaze from the outside of the bonnet inward. Then take a small putty knife and dab paste wax (I use #26) in several spots on the bonnet. Apply with the orbital, wait a few minutes and buff off.
Like I said, I never had any problems and actually, it produced pretty darn good results. But lately, reading here and other websites, I've started doing the #7 and #26 as isolated steps.
Is that crazy, harmful (not sure how it could be) or just wasting product?
