Thread: Need some advice...

i know jays cheap like me lol this is low budget turtle wax liquid compound and then turtle wax, wax. all done with a pc d/a orital buffer.

this was my first time ever using one too.

before.



after.



after a bath before the buffer. the paint was rather dead, i had no idea it could come back to life with a little work and 20 bucks in product that has lasted 5 years so far lol



after




i kinda refuse to pay for top of the line products when the good old fashioned cheap crap works just fine. i wax it 2 times a year, compound when it looks like it needs it, aka lots of swirl marks. the turtle will last a year too. even after this winter it still shinned and beaded water like it was just waxed when it got a bath.

Just be careful when compounding a lot. You will eventually wear out the clear coat. If you properly maintain all you need to do is polish once a year. The TW compound is on the rather aggressive side as well and can marr the paint. Much more than ultimate compound.
