i've read reviews on a lot of the polishes offered, but i still cannot decide on one.

the thing that should narrow it down a lot, is that i live at school currently so if i were to polish, i'd do it by hand. a lot of the polishes i'd probably need a pc to use. i wash, wax, and clay my car regularly, but the scratches are starting to bother me because i can see them better when the car is clean lol.

secondly, i dont mind working the polish for a while, but i dont want something that has massive cut so i'd have to have a second finishing polish. i'm trying to keep it simple here lol.

lastly, i had a question about klasse aio. if i were to use glaze on my car, would aio remove the glaze since it has "cleaning additives"?

thanks for you help

a word of advice...

post up in the irvine forum to see if anyone will help you polish your car. polishing by hand will never yield the results you can achieve with a pc (and it requires 999x more effort)

if you're up in the bay over the summer, i might be able to help you.

and yes, aio will remove many of the oils from the glaze.

cant agree with tekstar more-

you do not want to polish by hand... and if you reallly have to, you dont want to use an aggressive polish. it will haze the car and you will have to get a machine to fix it!!

and his idea about posting up for help is the best suggestion anyone will come up with- and it works!

terahertz

oh okay thanks for the advice guys.

Polishing by hand in a P.I.A. I agree with tekstar about posting up in your area.

If you buy a PC, and want a ploish reccomendation, get Menzerna. Costs a bit more than other brands, but the stuff works great!!

Good luck, and post up some before and after pics of your whip!!

terahertz

which menzerna would you recommend? on detailers domain theres like 4 different kinds lol i was looking at the super duper fine one that said it was made to take out 3000 grit marks on new ceramic clear coats, but i wasnt sure if our car had ceramic clear coats...

tekstar

depends on how your paint is. you always want to start with the least aggressive polish/pad combo possible.

i have super intensive polish, 106ff, and po85rd

you will most likely not need the super intensive polish.
106ff on a white lake country ccs pad
po85rd on a lake country finishing pad (this step really isn't necessary, but i feel it adds a bit more gloss)
