Kakaiba yan #7 sa pag apply at pagtanngal, but it gives great results!!!

Unlike Mom step 2, easy to apply and remove.

papanong iba ang technique sa pagtanggal ng #7?

hmm... its more like skimming around the whole vehicle removing it layer per layer with a MF unlike one major buffing session wherein you remove the product as you go around the panel.. kungdi ganun, you're liable to to have difficulty removing it.

actually, matagal na product na yang #7.. during the time when single stage paint was the rage.. I still use it from time to time because I like the results. But IHG, VM and Moms SG ako lately...

between 3M IHG and #80 Speed Glaze ano mas magandang polish na bagay sa DACP and #26 ko?

[chain]

hindi naman polish per se ang IHG eh.

Speed Glaze is actually different from IHG because of its wide functions / uses. it could be used as a polish OR glaze depending on the manner of application.

dehadista: can u tell us more how the speed glaze be used as a polish and/or as a glaze? in terms of manner of application? tia

#80 Speed Glaze is a great versatile product. aside from fillers, may diminishing abrasives din. if polishing by machine, speed glaze can remove the minimal swirls too. if by hand, halos parang glaze lang. It is meant to be worked until it is almost dry, but still somewhat wet so that it can be removed without smearing. use a MF for removal...

It really depends whether you're using it by hand or by machine.

it is actually a mild polish. so to a certain extent, it can be used to remove swirls on your paint because of its diminishing abrasives when used with a machine (Rotary or ROP). so by polishing with this, you are abrading the paint and producing a great shine at the same time. otherwise, you can use this also a glaze during hand applications. pero nakukuha din sa tiyaga alisin ang swirls by hand if you put a little passion behind it.

this is often used after DACP (which is more abrasive)

IHG, as a glaze, is used naman to cover up these same swirls. so parang cosmetic lang. no actual paint correction.

here's the thing: you have to assess first the product and process needed for the condition of your vehicle. it also depends on you on the amount of maintenance, budget and time you're willing to spend in order to preserve that shine.

It's a polish more than a glaze, you can't have a filler while having abrasives.
