I need to remove persistent fingerprints from my car's paint job, would this be the correct polisher or would I need something more heavy duty? Thanks !

This polisher would work great, just use the right polish. This is a dual action polisher that gets the job done.

I'm assuming your car's finish has swirls and light scratches, spiderweb effect.., the red pad will do the job, it will take out 1200 or finer scratch marks with easy. I used Meguiars 105 ultra cut compound with the red pad.., if you're not sure use the blue and test it out.

The consistency is kind of like SAE motor oil...just a little thicker but still kind of runny in compared to other polishes. You should be good~

I emailed Meguires about a paint job on my older Ford Explorer. Seems that the body shop used a cheap clear coat over the base coat and began to haze prematurely. I suspected the clear coat was sprayed on too thin. I live in the southwest and auto paint is subject to harsh summer heat. I asked the shop to spray four clear coats but I'm sure they didn't and used some cheap stuff because paint failure happens after a couple of years but anyway, The customer care guys at Meguires suggested I use this product with a grey foam pad( I used a yellow) and my car looked like new after I finished it. The oxidized paint came right off. I also put the synthetic sealer soon afterwards and even left that on overnight to bind with the paint. You really dont need to polish your car often if you wash it by hand using a microfiber wash cloth and Meguires car wash then spray on the synthetic detailer (while car is still wet) dry off with a dry microfiber cloth. The polish is only to SLICK UP THE FINISH. Sometimes the birds get to my car and I polish that off after the hand wash but once the suface is slick and sealed, evrything will wash right off. You are right though, you go polish off some of the paint when you do this so go easy, low RPM on your rotary polisher,light pressure and remember to seal it up ! this stuff really worked well for me, I used a Dewalt rotary polisher that I purchased here on Amazon for about $150.00 a year ago. The rotary polisher is a little more difficult to use than the orbital(much lower oscillations per second) and you might want to consider that first. I have seen those at Harbour Freight Sales for about $25.00. I hope that helps !

Yes it will. It's the same concept as polishing a car. I use this when I'm doing my drum shells which are sometimes stained, dyed or painted and them topped off with clear coats.

Hi, I think this one will be good for waxing but not for polishing. Regards!!

Stainless steel it will work on, but know that it will not chrome it. And yes, it will slowly strip any kind of paint off, it is a polish, not a wax, meaning it makes things cleaner by stripping layers of damage off.

It won't work very well. Polish pads are a bit more dense to get the polish to work and break down into the paint. The wax pad is very gentle and won't scratch the paint. Just wash them after using and they should last a long time. They aren't that expensive as far as pads go. I use mine on a DA and rotary buffer with a 4" backing plate and haven't had any trouble with the black, yellow, or red pads. This should be your solution - no emailing required.

Id try something else like Semi-Chrome or Noxon. This is more of a Polish than a rust remover / Chrome Cleaner. Although it may do the trick, you can try it but Id say to buy a can, only if you have other uses for it... this stuff lasts a good bit and works great for shining stuff up.

probably not this is more of a polisher than a sander I have done many floors and I usualy get the rental belt sander and orbital sander for the sanding and leveling then you will need an edge sander to get up to the trim wear a mask and I reccomend a tyvec suit, it gets rough with old finish

This is fine "cut" cleaner, though it's called Mirror Glaze(which is confusing-look at the red meter on left, and go lower to get finer grits), and #5 is surely an abrasive for removing scratches, heavy oxidation, etc....and should not be a repeat process over the same panels. When the panel is free of scratching(if not too deep), move to finer grit, swirl remover #4, before getting to non-abrasive "show car glaze", and/or wax. Hopefully not letting it get away from you, by washing and waxing often, maintaining the clearcoat...hope this helps.

Don't squeegee all of the polish off of the plate. Also, I used some YouTube videos. But it worked for me way better when I squeegeed lightly, pressed the stamper hard onto the plate to pick up the polish, and then pressed hard onto my nail. I used Sinful Colors myself. Worked well.

I would use the pad they recommend whcih is the ultimate polishing pad. You can also call Paul from marble gloss restorer and he will give you great advice. The product works great. you will need a lot of elbow grease.

Dean, Using M105 and M205 with the Porter Cable 7424XP and Country pads is a great combination. Go to Youtube and search for junkman2000 AJ is a great teacher and he will guide you to understanding paint correction, setting up your DA polisher, and using proper technique. Find his videos "How To for Novices to Machine Polishing" this is a 5 part series. You'll want to watch all his videos where he demonstrates how to properly wash a car to prevent paint damage and how to clay bar. That is where I learned to polish the right way. Andy

I would not use it to polish a car. Even at the lower speed it is to aggressive for polishing.

I agree with Laura. However, the only time I've had the little dots is when I applied to much. This is the best product there is and use it to first CLEAN, like she mentioned, and then apply a coat of wax. The tacky part, I've never experienced. I could imagine a situation though where there was another product already on there - not newly applied, I mean still on the paint. This is polish - it moves paint, is how I like to think of it.

I've used it on chrome with good results. It cleans and polishes glass pretty well too, but on car windows it tends to leave a bit of a film.
