I've tried applying it by hand and buffing it out, tried applying it with the porter cable let it sit and buff it out with a clean pad. It always leaves a residue that is nearly impossible to get off, it just smears when i try to get it off. Any ideas are welcome. Also, I've got some deeper than normal scratches in my paint that meguiars scratch remover and the orange pad won't take out. I'm about to get their fine cut cleaner, but i'm afraid to use something that i can feel the abrasives in. Anybody used that with the porter cable and what were your results?
Using nattys blue paste wax

I use their Fine Cut. Nothing too bad. I might actually step up to Medium Cut. Just make sure you follow it up with their Swirl Remover then Glaze, and finish with a sealer.68thoroughbred said:
I used Nattys paste wax. It was more difficult to apply and remove than I thought it would be, but, up until now I have always used off the shelf stuff which I do'nt think lasts as long as Nattys.
Natty's goes on super thin and needs to fully haze (but not set too long) before removing.
If you remove it too soon or apply it too thick; it smears.
Wait too long and it gets a *little* hard to remove, but just spritz it with a QD or some distilled water and it will come right off with no problem.

I guess i'll just have to play with the natty's some more. Is poorboys polish with carnauba work as a sealant, or do i need to order something else?
PB PwC is like a cleaner wax on steroids.
Its a light polish that leaves behind a carnauba finish. Not a sealant; though that do have Polish with Sealant now (new product). Its not real tough even with an orange pad; but its just enough to remove fine "towel scratches" and leave a slick finish. I'd follow with Natty's for the best look and protection.
As you work PwC, you'll see it start to "haze"; thats when you quit with the buffer and remove the product.
Via PC, I found it most effective using an LC orange pad/speed 6

Well i have deeper scratches than just towel scratches. I'm gonna use the meguairs fine cut, but they're saying i need a sealer... I was hoping to not have to wait the three days for something else from specialty motoring. Oh well, i know it's worth it
Who is "they" referring to that is telling you that you need a sealer?
Sealants and Waxes are your final protection...which you'll want to apply after you get done with all your swirl/scratch removal/polishing.
Sealant vs. Wax (carnauba) is really a preference of durability and looks.

Very Very thin coat. You're right. Its a pain to take off if its too thick. A little bit goes a long way.

I was referring to the people above you. I was thinking that a sealant had something to do with sealing after you used the cutting cleaner and then went on with the normal wax routine. I've got a lot to learn as i'm just getting into this kind of detail. If a wax and sealant do the same thing, then i guess i'm set..:shrug:
Natty's is a bitch to take off but its good. A little bit does go a long way.
For the Natty's Blue: Use a slightly damp foam applicator to apply it. Thin coats are key as with any last step product. Allow it to dry to a haze and then buff off with a microfiber towel. An alternative technique when buffing off is to use a slight mist of Poorboy's Spray & Gloss before buffing off.
