Glaze is meant for shine, most companies like car brite, blue coral and others is just a filler with silicone, not bodyshop safe. I called Meguiars before, they said glaze and polish is the same thing. companies just mix them up, real pure polishes shine, like a glaze, but with no silicone.
You’d want to use the buffer when it comes to a cut because it’s steady and way way more effective, and alot faster too, just more dangerous if you don’t know what your doing. Meguiars always say least first, so buff with the compound first and see what happens. Don’t rush, work in a 2×2 spot for a min nice a slow, medium pressure, then lighten up on the buffer. try 1600 RPM
I already bought the ultimate compound. I tried applying it by hand, but it absolutely did nothing. I did the circular motion in one place, I could not tell any difference. Should I just use the buffer with the ultimate compound or maybe buff with diamond 85?
Diamond Cut is more body shop use and has a heavy grit to it, Ultimate Compound is more friendly and polishes better, and has a tad bit lighter grit. It depends what you are trying to do, take out scratches only, or wax it? Yes you need to wash your car very well, with Degreaser to get everything off. Clay bar wouldn’t hurt either. I would use Ultimate Compound, then swirl remover and a wax. You don’t wanna push it either btw, let the compound do the work, it eventually breaks down.
I bought Meguiars Diamond Cut Compound and Ultimate compound. Which one would you recommend using? Is it true that all I need to do is wash the car and push the compound and and buff?
Rubbing compound is just another name for a mix between a cut and a polish. real polishes are not supposed to have cut in them, as Meguairs points out.
Today I use the 3M Perfect-it treatment #06060 #06064 and #06068 with their respective foam pads for the second time at 1,500RPM., if I use them at 2,000 RPM as instructed with my Makita, the chemicals dry and heat up making the impossible to remove. Not good. So I don’t know why everyone (even 3M) recommend using them at that high speed.
hey whats the difference between rubbing compound and a polish? and also what if u dont have a buffer can you do it just as weel by hand? or with a hand pad?
