Polishing Paint

I did say in certain in certain circumstances. Evidently it worked for you as a first step in an assessment. My point exactly. LOL

Never said it was the end step. We all know dealers do the bare minimum to get one over the curb in most cases.

Painted cars my whole life, detailing fresh paint, bit of a different ball game. Any paint job only has so much mil thickness to work with before you are through it. Newsflash, clear coat is single stage paint, only you can see through it. It breaks down and oxidizes like any other, and responds to the same methods. Single stage metallics are the ones to worry about.

Comet is less abrasive then most compounds. As with any abrasive method, common sense would dictate not to do it as a weekly touchup.

now your splitting hairs, basecoat clearcoat is 2 stage, where single stage is just all in one. you know what i was referring to when i said single stage. and my follow up to the comet was to explain that it is not to be used as a "wash"as another member stated. you cant do comet without polishing, and still, 99% of the time compounding is better to use from my experiences.

let go of the past, use dawn and comet inside the house, not outside........LOL

ps. flow-coating was the best technique to learn when painting for me.........haven't wetsanded since. well except for the occasional mistake....LOL
