Machine polishing help please?

[Bluebeard]

Greetings all.

The hybrid is nearly done and as such, I need to sort out some kit to get it spanking.

I have my machine polisher, and I also bought some Auto glym extra gloss protection.

What else should I buy? What polish is best to use with the machine? Just to get the shine right up? Don't want to use G3 or anything that coarse as it was machined about 6m ago.

Which polish should I use to get the paint looking good before I EGP it?

Any help, greatly appreciated!

If you've got SRP then that's a good to use to prep for the EGP and you've probably got some as well if you've got EGP. People often think of SRP just being used by hand but it's fine for machine as well.

Meh, I want something a bit more special tbh. Appreciate the help, but I need the X factor! lol!!

Are they two different polishes? Or the same??

Intensive for the swirls and light scratches, then finish it up with the final finish.

3M for you bein in the trade. (Fast cut/Ultrafina is by far the best i've used)

 

[Bluebeard]

Ali, will the 3m stuff be ok to machine with then go straight over it with EGP? Or should i use some sort of polish in between :S

Srp first mate, then extra gloss or else it will not bond properly.

No. As above. polish then wax if you have any.

 

[Bluebeard]

So, 3m on a machine, SRP, then EGP.

Yes??

Cool. Will purchase the above during the week!

No.

Wash.
Dry
3m, just buy fast cut.

DONE

Then wax it. Ignore the SRP and EPG. Or if you want to just seal. Ignore the wax. It's preference. SOme folk are steering towards seals rather than waxes now a days.
