Tricky-Ricky Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 What do you valeters use for fine machine polishing, i have plenty of compounds but I'm looking for something that will give a nice gloss without much cutting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Meguiars #80 Speed Glaze. This has a cut of 4 in a grade of 1-10 (10 being the most cut) For a really nice gloss, use something like #7 Show Car Glaze. This produces a very 'wet look' finish if used correctly, but is not a cutting product at all. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Does the speed glaze 80 also contain polish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Menzerna Intesive Polish and Menzerna Final Polish are my particular choice... Final Polish being the light one, it is also lubricated so less likely to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Certainly is, doesnt include all types but a good proportion of the common ones Am starting a machine polish on a MK1 golf cabriolet later tonight, and over next couple of evenings. Lovely little G60 supercharged engine in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
