[QUOTE="Screamin Cobra, post: 14151980, member: 37994"] I do not use PO85rd for any polishing, period. It's strictly for jeweling and adding that hint of gloss, clarity, depth, etc. It may be mental at that point but once you think it is just so perfect, it's just that finishing touch. 90% of the shine is in the correction and once I finished with Menzerna SIP, it was fully corrected. I actually started with SIP but due to the additional RIDS that I kept encountering I took out a new microfiber pad and used D300. That was enough to remove all the imperfections of which I thought SIP would have taken care of. The owner will not touch the car. He is scared that he would mess something up even though he can safely wash his own car now 'the right way' due to the scratch resistant properties and hardness of the coating and not have to walk around over eggshells in fear of scratching the surface. He will bring it back to me once every 1-2 months for maintenance detailing. The hydrophobic properties will last a good several months so this will make my part simple. He rarely drives the car. The Opticoat Pro will last him for years especially since its garage kept and not exposed to the atmospheric agents like some cars that are left outside or even daily driven. I used low tac tape that I got from the paint shop a few stores over and the wrap shop. The tape is not sticky at all so I won't ever have to worry about removing tape just to find that I modified the stripes by the adhesive from tape. What I do is overlap the stripe on to the paint surface by a hair to ensure that I won't have to worry with damage or any means of altering the stripes. The last thing that would need to happen is getting compound or polish on stripes. Whether it would add gloss to the matte stripe or get under the stripe...it just saves a big mess by preparing the work in that order. [/QUOTE]
