6th Gen ('00-'05): What Compound and Wax to use?
#11
As far as compounds go, I start off with Meguiars M105 which is a heavy cut compound and then finish it off with Meguiars M205 which is a much less agressive compound and I think is considered a polish. As far as wax goes, it just depends. Everyone likes different products. I have always used Liquid Glass which is an amazing product. But recently I have been using Meguiars NXT gen wax which is pretty good as well. There are a ton of products out there that you kind of just have to try some different stuff and see what you like best.

Wow, it is a lot to absorb and think about. I used Mothers 3 step system before the Chatter Box Meet. And I did it by hand. I liked all the Extra dirt it pulled out of the paint. But the Water spots stayed and there wereason still some dull spots. A friend just offered to sell me his brand new 2 speed buffer for $25. Still in the box, un-used. Think I will take him up on that.

I'm not sure what kind my friend has. But he is an X-Ford mechanic and Classic Car enthusiast.. He only buys Hi Quality stuff. Snap on and Mac are his tools of choice. I'll ask him at work tomorrow what brand it is. I know that he bought it in lue of polishing his 67 Chevell But a neighbor of he thought it Look good on fire. So the Burned it up. now he wants to sell it to e cause he knows I will use it! And since he's a friend he wants to give me a deal. Buffer 6 pads and premium wax.
Although I have use a buffer before, had a Black 98 Monte LS that sat under a Blueberry tree for two years and I buffed it back to Life, I think I may need to take a Buffing Refresher course! Lol
