I have never come across one that does. And that includes cars with 5+ years of burnt on sh1t. I fail to see how polishing (yes, wool and compounding may be required) could not shift even the worst etching?

It's used to rid paint work of orange peel, yes. But it would have to be a deep scratch that requires a small amount of filler paint to warrant wet sanding. Bird etchings do not require wet sanding. And 2000 is a starting point, not to be followed up by polishing but by hits of 3000 and 4000...

Welcome back Craig! How've you been buddy? Good to see you back on!

How to go about ruining your paint, CS style.

This; http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/valeting-and-bulk/valet-pro-citrus-pre-wash/prod_728.html So, by my calcs, I use about a half bottle of what ever pre wash I use (AF CP, CP RDS etc) on my entire car before pressure washing at the local garage (London roadside bodge detailing FTW). Do this...

If it's been baked, yes. If it hasn't, older style paint methods need time to gas do they not? Gally will be along in a moment or two, but I'd be waiting a few weeks.

Lol. Not that it will turn up, let's be honest.

Lol.

Flol. Just clicked on this and signed up. Looks like a waste of 5 mins.

Lol. Another on your Jew list? When are you next in London?

Trolololss. Buy a proper car young Kevings. What did you use in the final detail, pal?

Interesting that. I was looking forward to using it by machine, having been mightily impressed by my bodged hand application. Perhaps I'll stick to hand then C2V3 as the car looks like glass. Also, as Kev has already said, it's not a polish, so it won't go clear. It's an AIO so will actually...

I found it to be an excellent product, even in s**t (on the street at 9pm so it was cooler, car not decontaminated, no taped areas, by hand etc etc) conditions... Over/under use of product? What machine/pad? Run me through it boyo and sure someone, if not myself, can help.

Likewise, and yes it does leave gloss enhancers behind that are great for bare cars but protected doesn't look as... crisp.

Cloths. Not drying towels. For towels I agree slightly damp is the way to roll.

Lol. Nose.

Usual non bio soap that you use, but no conditioner. And dry naturally in the air, not in a dryer.

I see no reason why not. I spritz pads with QD to prime them when using Menz and 3M polishes. Presume an AIO wouldn't respond any differently.

He says, using them ;) Anyway, back OT, Hyper Wash is one of the best diluting products available, so is great for; wax safe snow foam, wax safe washing, APC cleaning, interior wipe downs, engine bay cleaning, wheels, arches, shuts, around the house etc. John@PB did some calculations and got to...

Tripple is not as good as it should be by hand at 10pm. Let alone by machine during the day. Advise against it Adammmdotcunit, I've experienced it lately (didn't stop me, but like you, I need it done this week prior to a car show next).

Where in London are you chap? Might be good to meet for a beer and chat.

If you're ever looking for a helm (don't do crew, too headstrong ;)) shout!

:( I miss the hum of a good plane. Not been for two years now, since moving to London. Effing shame! Anyway, back OT, I'd email and speak to Rob about getting it done properly, Harv. Few ££ outlay for a good year or two of protection.

Ah nice! Apologies, on the phone before so couldn't see the picture and make out what it was! In that case, I would be definitely looking at a nano sealant over C2V3 and tbh, if it was mine, I'd pay Rob to do it if you're not happy diying it. It won't cost the earth for a dinghy. The only thing...

Ah ok. In that case, P1 or P2 in my eyes. Shouldn't need a lot. What condition? Salt water use I presume? http://gtechniq.com/shop/3s-for-yachts/polishing/p1m-3s-nanocomposite-polish-marine/ Depends how au fait you are with applying a nano sealant. If you're happy to have a bash because it's a...

I wouldn't polish it fella. If it's new, I'd do an IPA wipe down and just keep on top of it. We wash down dad's RS200 having applied FK1000p to it a while ago and still beads and washes down just fine, even when he goes to Minorca with it.

Do yours? ;)

Welcome back, Andy. Muhahahahahaha!!

Yeah I don't think you quite get what claying is. Imagine using a razor blade on a bobbly jumper. When you run the razor over the jumper, the blades remove the bobbles that stick out from the surface. Claying your car's paint is the same idea, except the clay is the razor (lots of tiny cutting...
