Dmorr1 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Looking to learn more about steps to detail to show quality. I use 4000rpm polish with Microfibre 6" pads for stubborn removal of dried compounds or the polishing product. This stuff dries fast and after getting most off in small areas with microfiber cloth I find a quick rotary polish helps. I watch for any heat. Also like to put wax on by hand and polish off at slow speed with DA unit using a wool pad and ultra soft bonnet. Thoughts? I use Meg's stuff.

mjhpadi Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 While Meguiar's stuff is OK, I think you will get better results using a higher quality line. I really like Adam's Polishes, but if you check out Autogeek.com they carry a bunch of high quality lines. What I like about Adam's is they offer 110% guarantee if you're not happy with any product. They have great customer service and best of all, the stuff works great and gives a result that looks awesome and lasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also always puzzled about the necessity of Rejuv Compound, Polish and then Wax. Maybe just Clay and straight to a HQ wax that I can apply to entire car and then take off in one step.

SHO Rod Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Often the "rejuv compound" will help to reduce swirls and provide a deeper gloss. You probably won't gain much by using a polish after the compound depending on the products you use. You might get better results by using a finishing glaze and/or paint sealant prior to the wax. -Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I start with clay bar, then use a swirl and haze remover (it's much more gentle then compound), follow it with a polish, then a sealant, glaze, and finally wax.

Dmorr1 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm gonna take your advice The rejuv compound sure seemed pretty harsh on my MDX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
