Hand polishing pads
« on: 09 February 2011, 23:13 »
I'm going to get myself some new hand polishing pads and was looking at the Lake country ones on waxamomo, the products i have at the mo are AG SRP, Jetseal 109 and various dodo waxes, how does this sound?

AG SRP- White pad
JS 109- Red pad
Dodo wax- supernatural polishing finger mit

When the SRP is gone i might get some lime prime light as my paint is in quite good condition, would JS 109 be ok over the lime prime?

As always any advice greatly appreciated, please don't say get a machine, i will eventually when er indoors stops spendin all my money on a wedding! :angry:

hand polishing pads: the orange cutting pad and the white polishing pad are ideal for hand polishing, soak them in warm water for 5mins before you use them, squeeze out really well and they'll work a treat.

lime prime lite is a tricky product to use imo, prefer using britemax blackmax glaze or CG's ez creme glaze

yes jetseal is fine over lime prime, make sure you buff the lime prime off well as it has quite alot of cleansing oils in it which is a big +when applying it by machine.

Cheers guys, i'm not after any "cut" really so was going to give the orange one a miss, i thought LP was like a polish? Would the the creme glaze or britemax be a suitable replacement for the SRP?

yes lime prime is a polish and is an excellent product, limeprime lite is a fiddly glaze imo and theres easier products to use. blackmax would be a better replacement.
