lol changed it again - didn't notice that the TSN software inserts a URL behind the text and I didn't change the URL...

I'm assuming you found the correct link anyhow. You should be looking at getting the Sonus DAS pack with the machine along with 4" SFX spot pads for the smaller areas. There are discount codes kicking about and If you need them give me a shout grin.gif

Personally I'd wash, clay then go straight to polishing as an extra wash is a bit of a waste of time IMHO. You can clay either using QD as lube or weak soap solution.

Stage 2 is a pure polish, stage 3 a carnuaba sealant from memory so Speed Glaze will almost certainly clean them both away. I'd substitute Stage 2/3 for Speed Glaze then P21S by hand.

I prefer to hand wax as using the Sonus bonnets I was cursing inside 5 minutes - not a big fan.

Sorry to rip your routine apart - wouldn't want to see you wasting time/product.

Have fun and if you need any PC tips, please just ask.

im happy for any advice ! so you would just say to speed glaze with ( what colour pad ? ) then go straight on to just p21 ? i dont need to do anything else ?

The polishing oils in #80 are very rich indeed so you can just go onto your p21s afterwards.

But it does depend on the condition of the paint before you start. Speed Glaze as Brazo says is rich in oils but is only a light polish; the oils will fill swirls rather than remove them.

If youn have swirling, I'd try one of the Poorboys SSR (Super Swirl Removers) first. They range from SSR1 (light abrasive) to 3 (high abrasive and not really suitable for PC use) - SSR2.5 is my go-to polish as it works fast and VERY effectively. C&S are due to be stocking this any time now (if they aren't already). And as a bonus it will work in direct sunlight without any reduction in performance.

You can then use the #80 but TBH SSR2.5 will provide a surface ready for sealing/waxing in my experience - #80 will generally add just a little more wetness/depth but it's NOT sun friendly - so keep in the shade when applying.

^^I have wondered that myself actually but never experienced a problem and their after sales service is so good it really gives me confidence buying from there. Each order is fully trackable and it will arrive within 3-5 working days a lot better than buying from some UK companies.

DACP is harder work than SSR2.5 - takes longer and doesn't produce the same result.

As for duty - grrrrr!! I didn't email autopia in advance and got stung for something like £30. Mind you, I've never had any duty issues other than that so I can't complain I guess.
