MetalliCamaro 08-05-2005 01:32 PM

um what kind of polish do i get? yje car hasnt moved since i put the rubbing compund to it, whats the polish going to do? any way i can rewash and re do the rubbing compund right? then polish or can i just polish it? it hasnt moved.. still in the same spot..

archemedes 08-05-2005 01:37 PM

think of rubbing compound and polish as sand paper, compound would be say 120 grit, polish would be 400 and glaze would be 2000 if you can find it get 3m perfect it or finesse it

MetalliCamaro 08-05-2005 01:44 PM

omg i am going to get some of that polish and glaze, for best results i should get it from 3m since thats who made the rubbing compound i used?!?!

archemedes 08-05-2005 02:50 PM

no they just make the best stuff.I only use 3m if I can help it
