0 mikegeaney Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have done that same routine myself with excelent results......only one variation in that I used Buttery Wax as I didn't have MSW on hand. Make sure you start with a good wash and clay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 b_pappy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I always mix the Revive and the Swirl & Haze on the pad and do them together. I'll be curious if it is an Adam approved technique. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 justinN1_C5 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks! Oh yeah, i would certainly wash the car first, might not need the clay, but I would certainly check it first Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the aggressiveness post, and I was surprise that RP was less aggressive than FMP. Which got me wondering if it was closer to a finishing polish.

We need to get together and wax stuff Justin! The Revive Polish is more of a paint cleaner, removes old wax, oxidation, and leaves the paint nice and clean. I'm not sure the Revive would do anything better for your finish after the FMP, rather, I'd do this if you are looking to add a step, or use up some goods in search of the ultimate shine! Clay Swirl & Haze (if needed, Orange Pad5-6K Opm's) Revive Polish (White pad, which will get stained, 5K Opm's) Fine Machine Polish (White Pad again, 5-6K Opm's) Machine SuperWax, or Buttery Wax if not driven in the weather, stored outdoors, etc. That's what I would do!

0 Bill-V8V Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Just asking...why? I always thought RP was less aggressive than FMP so I do it in the 3 step pprocess. SHR, FMP then the RP. Just in reverse order of their aggressiveness. WHo knows, maybe I've been doing it wrong ? But I like the results :pc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
