It may not ......as we don't know what your car looks like, you may need another polishing step prior the the finish polish stage, with a med pad, speed 3 and meguires ultimate compound....see the doc called " doing a one year old car" in my Dropbox. Remember, the basic regimen I discuss here is for a brand new car, owned by a person not familiat with a new car detail.

Hey glen what speed do you run you polisher at?

[Glen e]

Slow speeds for spreading sealants/ wax - less thsn 3
Fast for polishing, above 3, but never above 5
Finishing polish for new cars - at speed 3


This is assuming you have a polisher that goes from 0 to 6 like my griots.

Speed and pad type are the two ways you control what you're doing. Speed it up in your polishing more , harden the pad and you're polishing more, just the opposite on both for waxing

See the DIY videos on auto geek under their how-to section for how to get all the stuff straight in your mind.

Im doing your 1st detail instruction with blackfire total polish and seal, wet diamond. I have a whit pad and a blue pad.

White is harder so thats polish (TPNS)
Blue is for WD...
Crysal seal by hand

Use everything sparingly.

Hey Glen, couple more questions

In your first post you used Menzerna 4500 and a medium pad instead of Blackfire Total polish and White pad as stated in the docs, any particular reason why?

Do you still recommend the Meguiars compound for a 2 step on an older car?

I used the 4500 as I wanted to use it up. The Blackfire TPNS will give you a better connection with the crystal seal if you are doing this for the 1st time. It's a very minuscule difference. A white pad is medium pad.

yes meguires ultimate compound for a 1 year or older car.

Glen, the nano sponge, do I need to get the red medium one for a 1+ year old care or will the blue fine one work?

[Glen e]

Stay with the fine.....
