Hard to suggest how many passes of any polish will take without seeing the paint.
Routes that will probably needed
Meguiars 83 and 80
Poorboys SSR's 2.5, and or 2/1
Menzerna Intensive Polish and Final Finish
The lastter in each combo are the mildest, see if one of them works before stepping...
Are you looking for polish suggestions to use with the Rotary?
SRP is very mild so wont do much for paint defects.
I would seal with Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection and maybe add a nice wax like P21s for further looks.
10.4 was released about a after 10.3.9 and 10.3 about the same after 10.2.9 IIRC. It won't be long.
The Performance of the MacPro 2 x 2.66 with 2 gb Ram is shocking though.
Failing to do tasks that the old G4 450 DP I have sat next to it on the desk can due to lack of RAM when it had double...
XXX/Nattys/Nattys Blue all give a really good gloss and wet look but lack depth of other Carnubas.
Each time I have used them the lack of depth meant I always ended up topping it with another wax.
Just ran the update on my new MacPro here at work, just means you have to hold it in now. Everything else seems fine regards to the update - shame it is running like a dogpoo still in other areas, super fast at some things, refuses to do other simple tasks that rasterize and A4 doc at 72dpi in...
Very true costs wise 50/50 is right up there.
When I did some half and half split panels side by side with 50/50 and the Zymol Carbon the 50/50 looked better.
XXX is Poorboys Nattys as far as I kind tell, was not that impressed with.
Suds don't make a difference. The AG shampoo has lots of lubrcation and and makes a slick wash liquid which is more important than suds which have no bearing on it's cleaning power.
AG Cleans well, just very little suds, Rinses easily and gives a good finish.
Off on the tangent thrown above AG SRP and EGP is much better than the Megs Gold Glass Wax or there 3 stage system.
Shampoo's wise I much prefer,
CG Wash'n'Wax
Sonax Gloss Shampoo
Duragloss Wash
or Swissvax Car...
The Makita BO6040 or one of the Dewalt Random Orbitals are as close as you will get to the PC. Both run a little to fast and have the fixed backing plate issue over a Porter Cable. The is no real sopy cat machine. Meguiars are meant to be doing a UK PC soon though.
It is so simple to import...
I am just a hobbyist am far from a pro!
The Matika 9227CB is a rotary polisher so lacks the safety margin of the PC.
The Makita BO6040 Polisher is a safer option as it can be used in both a rotary and random orbit daul action mode like a PC - http://www.autogeek.net/bo6040.html
A few guys...
They say Carnuba's wont last due to the heat.
Something like P21s does not work, last about one drive!
I have never used Collinite on my wheels, always used to rely on just EGP alone. Though did use Megs #16 a few times.
Always do EGP x 3 on mine and then top up with Swissvax Autobahn or...
Just posted over on the PSOOC, looks good. Nice rare car.
The NXT will have removed some if not all of the EGP unfortunatley as it contains cleaners in it.
