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
