1 - Menzerna Intensive Polish
2 - Menzerna PO106ff
(Trip to Jimmy Buff-It's to have them use a rotary for some deeper scratches)
3 - Chemical Guys EZ Creme Acrylic Glaze
4 - Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 (2 coats)
5 - Natty's Red

Before buying the G I didn't even know it was possible to use so many different chemicals on a car! However, since I really love my car I wanted it to look as good as possible so I went for it. This was definitely a LOT of work, at least to me, but it was definitely worth it. I just wanted to say thanks to George for taking the time to thoroughly and patiently answer my questions and recommend the right products. He could have just told me to buy all the most expensive things they sell to make some more money but he was honest and advised me on products that worked great but didn't put me any further in the poor house than I already am. In fact, I was so impressed that I have ordered some things from DI for the dealership I work at to clean and shine up our Corvettes. I know I should put some pics up here but I don't know how get the photos on here that are large enough to see. Anyhow, thanks George!

I am new to this and after reading reviews of different products I have bought these products and I am planning to do the following

Step 1 - Wash
Step 2 - clay
Step 3 - Klasse AIO
Step 4 - Klasse SG ( 4 layers)
Step 5 - P21S concourse paste wax ( 3 layers)

My question is,
Can I use Klasse AIO, Klasse SG and p212 wax on glass windows, windshield, trim and headlamp/tail lights?

Thanks

The affected areas were the rear quarter panel, glass, trunk, wheel, taillamp and roof. Thankfully, I was able to do it without damaging or scratching the paint, even though I had to do some thorogh scrubbing in some areas. Afterwards I did a thorough descratching, cleaning, polishing and waxing which was also long overdue.

I honestly thought that the paint would get scratched beyond repair or that some paint would be removed along with the concrete, but thankfully, none of those happened. Of course, if that had been the case, the contractor responsible for the damage would have to fork out the price of a new paint job.....

I just ordered the advanced PC kit - quick question about the polishing process I will be using.

So I know we do a test panel first and start with the least aggressive product first - here is my order:

Start with a white pad using PO106ff. If that doesn't work, then bump up using an orange pad. If that doesn't work, then orange pad using SIP P083. I'm assuming after that combo, the marks will be gone. So, do I finish with a finsihing polish (PO106ff)? Is there something that I am missing or that you recommend?

Thanks!

Thanks for the response - quick question regarding the flex polisher you sell. I've been reading and have come down to two conclusions - it has more correcting ability power and is faster comparing to the PC. So, I'm a newbie and have never polished before. I was going to practice on some junk yard parts. WOuld you recommend the flex over the pc for a beginner? Also, I know for the PC there are settings - for instance, set it to 3 to apply the polish and then increase to 5 or 6 to work it in. Is there something similar on the Flex?

Thanks again.
