Just got done with the interior on the 74 car. Pulled it all out and completely cleaned it. Car has been buffed with a combination of PS21 cleaner and Mequire's scratch
remover. Really turned out nice. I picked up the Mequire's clay bar system too. What has been your experiences using them? Is it worth the effort? I gather once it's cleaned with the bar, you just apply wax or does other prep work need to be done to get the clay residue off (if any)? Thanks Tod |

Cool story Jeff. After recently trying it, the clay (not the silly putty on the comic strip), I'm sold on it too. Thanks for the responses.

Great discussion. Haven't tried a clay product, but I will now!
Some of you are Griot's fans (is it really Mother's repackaged?) Would like some feedback from you who have used their buffer. Have heard that it is a "repackaged" B&D (?). I'm using a 7" circular buffer which is ok but would llike to go random orbital if it will give a better finish. TIA Allen '74 2.0 in "Super deep red" |

finesse-it 2
that is some good stuff. My company uses it to polish fiberglass plugs to a mirror shine, I tried it on my 914 and it works great, even the bumpers/chrome caps polished out like new. |

TIA Allen '74 2.0 in "Super deep red" I can't say for sure if griots is repackaged anything. It probably is. Doesn't mean it's not a good product. Griots is a buy and don't think to much line of products. The owner explains in great detail how things work, the produtcs and polishers are all safe for anyone to use from a professional to a beginner. I just placed an order for there polishing kit. I think it's worth the $200. I will probably buy there smaller one as well. I don't think it's the best polisher though. Without question the flex is. It's also very expensive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yht1uHJLNlQ End of the day I would have to say technique is more important then the products used. They are all pretty good. Meguirs, Mothers, Griots, Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Zaino. It's a matter of what you want your final results to be. Pinnalce wax may look the best but wolggang sealant may last the longest. We should have a detailing thread really. |
