Lime prime is classed as a pre wax cleaner, ie give the paint as nice fresh surface for the wax/sealent to bond to. But when used by machine with a polishing pad it also has the added advantage of removing swirls and light scratches and leaves a lovely deep finish to the paint.

Makita rotary was used and going by my PTG readings a harder hit wasn`t going to happen :wink:
