MacGuires?

Which one did you use? MacGuires has many different polishes and waxes.

What to do, what to do...nothing?

Ok Becky~

Need the verdict!


I polished all day yesterday, got only 1/4 done (I went in no particular order, started and stopped in areas where I could escape the sun), with only 1 grade (S), it worked well but had to use F7 in some areas because I didnt have any "C".......woke up today and I cannot lift my arms!!!!

How will I do the rest today????

And when Im done should I rainX or wax? Or do nothing?

Here's some pics from yesterday.

Caranuba Wax is the verdict (nothing new). I used Merguire's in the can, after trying the yellow liquid. As said in this thread, there's no magic coating that anyone has found. Resign yourself to polishing every year (& having some spots in between) or clear coating. Hopefully, the spots will wipe off between washings in the summer!
By the way Jezibels, your shine looks awesome so far! My remedy is ibuprofin for aches after polishing!

Thanks Becky!

At least we get some really toned arms the more we polish!

Becky,

I used the Caranuba Wax and it seems to bring the shine down several notches. I put mine on by hand in a test area and wasn't satisfied with the results.
By chance did you put it on by hand and power it off? Just looking for techniques I might not have developed yet.

Micro-Poxy MSDS

Here is the MSDS sheet on the Micro-Poxy.
Is there someone that can understand it?

I put it on by hand & it took it down several notches. Exactly why I started this thread! Frustrating!
