washed ,clayed,polished car and then put 3 coats of p21s on over the space of a week, how many coats of p21 can i put on before i need to polish again?????? cheers.
So is polish an abrasive? Is it like a milder version of scratch x or rubbing compund? I've been using super resin polish thinking that it was pretty much the same thing as wax! *gulp* I've still got swirls though so it's not like I'm down to the metal yet
Polishes vary in how abbrassive they are, some are super has ,some very mild. No worries with Super Resin it is *very very* mild, no detetectable removal in clearcoat thickness when used by hand according to Brazo's trusty paint depth gauge.
I have a tube of rubbing compound in my stash of products, would this be any good for swirl removal over the entire car surface or is it worth forking out for scratch X?
The compound may be overkill, and will cut very quickly, the Scratch X is a safer option, but the rubbing compound would do a quicker job.
Be carefull if you do use it, and test it in a small area first as it may put in smaller scratches than the swirls its removing due to the abbrassives in it.
Thanks guys. I'm still waiting for a dry day but it looks like i'll end up getting some scratch X. I imagine after about 30 mins and my arm feels like it's gonna drop off, I'll be dreaming of a PC.
After I made that post I had a look at them on the net. $200 for a PC and changeable heads. (~£110 before you buy the polishes) I just don't think I'd want to spend that much unless I KNEW I was gonna have a finish like when it came out of the showroom. I could fook up my paint or just not do it right. Plus it'll still take a while to do.
