    What do you use for final polish out on clearcoat?

    Looking for recommendations... I’ve used a “smooth cut” polish after 2,000 grit with soap.

    looking for something to use on the final steps. Thinking of Meguirs swirl remover followed by a wax...

    what do you use?

    this is for 2K clear.

    This is really great stuff. I use a 6" variable speed DA buffer. Unbelievable shine, and protection system. Even brings old crappy paint back to new.

        Well I had to go with what I could get... I used Meguiars ultimate. Quite impressed with it actually. Does a good job on black. I then followed up with a carnuba paste wax (Formula 1 brand but pretty sure it's made by the same people as one of the majors looking at the tin, just slightly cheaper. Comes with a foam applicator which I liked).

        All applied by hand.

          When I die, just cremate me and put me in my GS tank. That way I can go through these carbs, one more time!https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/core/images/smilies/cool.png
