Dave, as an over-the-counter/PRO "system," these products do an astonishingly good job. The Compound does a terrific job refinishing the paint removing scratches, swirling , and oxidation, but I've been most impressed with the deep shine it leaves, especially on darker colored cars. Even after an ipa wipe down the shine holds. The MAX and FLEX are definitely icing on the cake!

Unfortunately I haven’t tried that polish so can’t comment on it, but I do know the 1&done is good, I’ve used it a lot 👍🏻 It will depend on how well known DIY details products are, as if they developed it themselves, might be really good, but if they just buy a “white label” polish and rebrand it, it will probably be rubbish

Laquer thinner? Do you mean IPA? If so, no, just give the car a good wash, dry it, then preferably use a clay bar to remove and stuck in dirt, then use the one and done, then you can just put a wax on top, but ideally, once you have used the 1&done, use IPA to remove any residue polish so the wax sticks better 👍🏻

@@ChicagoRob2 You should look in to STPA mini DA polisher from Ebay or AliExpress. I have one, its a little heavy and feels like it needs just a little bit more power sometimes when doing heavy work. But being almost 4 times cheaper its a pretty good deal. The kit also comes with a bag and a few pads.

I used the One and Done yesterday on my car; using the 50/50 microfiber pad first (4 dots on the pad) and then used the black foam pad (4 dots on the pad). I tapped the pad over the area to be done, started the machine out at a 1 speed (using a Porter Cable machine) and then switched to 4 speed in a cross hatch; doing this way with the 50/50 pad. Then when using the black foam pad, I also tapped the pad over the area, started out with a 1 speed to spread, then changed to a 3 speed in a cross hatch. I noticed that with each pad and application, it was harder and longer to remove the compound; I had to use all three microfiber towels; and it wasn’t very translucent. What did I do wrong?
