You will if you want to remove the swirls you left last time. Otherwise straight on with the SRP.

SRP can be. Depending on what cut you want to give it, either use a polishing or finsihing pad. It works really well by machine. I tend to use it on a Sonus DAS Green or SFX white. Still apply the EGP by hand though.

SRP and EGP IMO blow it to the weeds in durability stakes, look better and are quicker to do with one less step than the 3 stage Megs. I would stick with the Autoglym pair and get a better carnuba wax to go over them.

TBH I really like the finish VM and RMG give, so would stick with them but you may aswell go straight to #16 straight after them - will look good though. Otherwise I would be going down the AG SRP or Klasse AI) with Jeffs Acyrlic Jett Trigger Sealant topped with a Carnuba.

The last stage - Part 3 the Carnuba wax can be used over EGP if you like. Not a great fan of the consumer Megs range to be honest.

I use the VM first and then the RMG, as the VM has stronger cleaners than the RMG. Would not use either with a cutting pad. The Duragloss Sealant will never bond properly to either of the CK Glazes so I would not expect great durability from it.

Mine is plastered in them.

I am back in love with mine at the moment - needs a damn good clean now though - show on Sat so will be getting a good wash in the morning.

A clay bar removes stuck on crap that washing alone won't. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/detailing-clay/cat_9.html

Looking good Alan. PMSL @ Justins used comment I love the haters - been out in mine everyday this week :approve:

User error IMO - SRP dusts when to much is used and it is not worked correctly. There should be little or nothing to remove when worked properly so no dust. Any dust is excess wasted product. EGP - needs to be applied so thinnly, again if over appliued the excess product that dusts is just waste.

As above all depends on how many there are.

Polish is one thing. Wax is another. Polish corects paint defects. Wax seals and protects. Worth a Read. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=148366 Polishes by machine I like the Menzerna range, by hand AG Super Resin. Waxes - P21s, Chemical Guys 50/50, Swissvax Onyx and Best or...

Skip the Megs NXT it will strip the EGP, add a couple of coats of the EGP instead and then use the XXX wax.

You should be fine yes, so far you will have removed very little clearcoat.

Works lovely by PC

If the Swirls are not being removed you may need to step up to a light cut pad rather than a polishing pad. Menzerna Intensive Polish has a simerler level of cut to Meguiars 83.

Does not sound right. Depending on which sized backing plate and counter weight your running it may have a little vibration. Centering the pad properly on the backing plate will also make a big difference.

Will need something more than a wax by hand I would expect. Try some Autoglym Super Resin Polish first, then step up to some Meguiars Scratch X if need be.

The key to SRP is working it really well till there is little or nothing to remove, not using to much so it does not dust. Take a panel at a time after washing and drying, apply a 5 -20 pence sized blob on a foam applicator and work it into the panel, straight lines or circles it is up to you...

The 83 should lose them yes, I prefer Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Finish over the Megs 83 and 80 route myself.

They dont make G5's anymore, MacPro has rnow eplaced them. New versions of them are expected soon so I would keep your money where it is for now. Are you going to update your Creative Suite aswell? As CS1 and CS2 dont run that great on the new Intel Based machines.

They are not called ditchfinders for nothing! They are fairly progressive though as you can feel the back end moving about and they brakeaway gradually. They where standard on my 306 XSi, would not purchase them out of choice though.

Autoglym Interior Cleaner or Autoglym Interior Foam on mild marks, though you may need something like Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner on more stubborn stains.

A machine polish should sort it, you will be there for days by hand and proabably not be 100% succesfull.

I use the Blue 3M Stuff it is water resistant, lower tack and can be left on longer. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pb160polish.html BandQ sell an own brand vesrion and any local bodyshop or paint supplier should be able to supplyu the £M.

Nice work - looking good.

Idelly the Chips will need painting and wet sanding. Once polish gets pushed in them by machine it will proably show them up more even on Silver.

Exactly same reason as I went for the Gimour tbh
