Yeah, it can do that, especially in the heat (JUST used some to remove an old decal this morning). Only way I've found to work around that is to really saturate the rag and hold it where it needs to be. Maybe even add more by gently squirting some into the rag while it's in place.
I have just about everything I need I order some cg diablo gel and some sonax Fe...I used the cg with there coon wheel brush and found out that I didn't mix it right LOL...I use a cap full in 32 oz of water LOL....I've been looking at picking up some opti-coat 2.0 to add to my collection. Also I got a sample of the wolf final glaze 3.0 to use..how do you all feel about that. I wanted to use 105 to gg polish 3 to wolf final glaze...mabe in the next 2 weeks I'm going to get a electric power washer and menzerna nano polish to replace the gg polish 3 since I've read that its a great two step polish...is there anything else I need to add to my collection?

hares1370- Dunno about that Glaze; if you do the polishing well it might not make any significant diff :nixweiss
I still think that going from M105 to GG MP#3 is too big of a jump, NO WAY would I be satsified with that. M105 to GG MP#2 to MP#3 would be more like it.
Remember that M105 is designed to be followed with M205, which is a whole lot different from GG MP#3, at least IME.
Eh, the Wolf's glaze might conceal any issues from that big jump, but it's not the way *I* would want to do the work.
So I think you oughta buy something in-between the M105 and the GG MP#3.
What're you planning to use the OptiCoat on?

Beware of "aggressiveness scales" that compare disparate products
Meguiar's M205 cuts a lot more for me than any version of GG MP#3 ever did (like...simply no comparison, gotta even be a *little* careful using M205 on chrome plating), but maybe they've reformulated the latter.
Note that the GG Hand Polish is basically a filler product, virtually zero correction.
Do a test spot with the glass polish before doing your whole windshield/etc. with it.

Almost all (modern) wheels have some kind of clearcoat, either a clear powdercoat or a "thick regular-type clear". This can get marred up just like the rest of the paint, and polishing can help remove/reduce said marring and also shine it up. It usually takes a pretty aggressive product to get the job done.
I really like it, *BUT* it has limitations; it has basically zero cut (so do correction with something else first), it has basically zero durability (so top it with something). Nice paint cleaner though.
Well, at least it didn't scratch things up or anything like that.
What did you want it to do? If you have any marring in the glass, well...good luck with that. Correcting glass is a bear of a job and I simply wouldn't bother even trying to do it.
