check if the area for orange peel, if it still has orange peel or if its flat but looks like there's still a film on top, you're still safe

sorry for the ignorance, but does this orange peel literally orange?

As what I have observe on the spots that i had applied with the 3M Auto Scratch Remover, the area looks dull and not shiny anymore and has swirls, but still up with the level of the surface of the coat.

Up ko lang po question ko. Thanks

Just mix 1/2 cup with 5 gallons of water, thats what we used to do until ours always "magically" disappears, one huge bucket the kind you see in ed's place is 5 gallons we mix about 1/2 to 1 cup of vinegar with it

Guys, Meron ba sainyo gumagamit ng wheel brush to clean the wheels? Is it scratch free? I'm planning to buy one pero yun nakita ko yun sa Mothers and Meguiars, I was scared that it might cause scratches in my wheels.

i use them about half a dozen of them and they don't scratch the wheels once used properly

try the one from Mr clean, its very soft compared to mom and megs, i've used it and it doesn't scratch just as long as you don't use it dry ok

Actually for removing waxes and sealants, basically anything that doesn't need pressure to remove, those MF's area already great, but try to use those MF's to remove gummed on polishes and compounds and you will see it will actually instill scratches, those MF's are ok for light pressure usage but with moderate you might be a little bit disappointed, thats why we have a lot of MF's at home depending on the purpose of use, for QD and easy wax removals those are fine, but there's also a reason why we invest on the much more expensive MF's from Microtex and from abroad, BMW and mercs clear coat are very sensitive and believe me the MF's we use for them are very expensive hehe

Di ko pa na try mag remove ng gummed up polish using that MF. If applied properly yung wax and polish its ok naman. Nasa 35 pesos lang kasi lumalabas each yung yellow Mfs kung 36-pack binili.

500watts! very hot to hold but it sure is nice to show all the defects

Hahah init nga niya pero labas lahat ng swirls na usually hindi lumalabas kung fluorescent light lang ang gamit.

in most cases where the wax and polish is easy to remove and apply this is already enough, but with some of the Megs and Menzerna line same with Farecla they have a high tendency to gum up on high speeds with rotary and these gummed up products are usually very hard to remove often requiring a lot of elbow grease

Thanks. So it is called orange peel cause of it's texture and looks similar with the peel of the orange.

well that's not my case actually. What I have observe and catches more of my attention is the dullness and lack of shine of the spot that I treated with 3M Auto Scratch Remover. Can waxing bring back its shine? or do I really have to use a polish?glaze?

Polish need niyan like swirl X. Di talaga maganda finish ng 3m scratch remover masyadong agressive.
