If your fingernail catches on the scratch, you're going to need an aggressive polish such as 105. M205 is a finer polish (I use it as a middle polish) and can't really remove anything deeper than a swirl. Also, for what it's worth, M105 is very versatile in the sense that you can use it with a wool pad for the deep stuff (never use wool on our cars unless absolutely necessary), or you can use it with a mild polishing pad.
it dissapears with the 3m scratch remover untill i was it a few times then re apply and wax

The 3M scratch remover is trash. It's a bottle full of fillers. That's why you see the scratch reappears after you wash it...because the fillers are washing out. You could get some Meg's Ultra Compound from Wal-Mart and use a MF towel to spot buff it out.

Old school... Meguires #9 (swirl remover) for fine polishing works great on fingernail scratches around the door handle, #6, (much more aggressive) after color sanding.

#9 can be used to remove light ozide layer too but it's a lot of rubbing.

If you want a complete kit with Meguiar's polishes it will be hard to beat this set up here.

There will be some learning curve but this is a great set up.

Porter Cable with Meg's DA Microfiber System.

i think that what my dad bought ok so i wash good , dry , clay , wash , polish wash then wax corrrect?

or just get the Griot's set. they have a super easy thing going with basically only 2 pads to choose from. orange pad for polishes, red pad for sealants and waxes. doesn't get any easier.

ive been using their set on my cars for years. absolutely no issue and each time my car turns out looking concourse ready. :)

i have both 6" and 3" random orbitals.

Why not a PC with the Adams polishes kit? Have you watched the Junkman videos? it may answer many questions you have...I have a black 370 and had excellent results using the Adams line up.

I wash, clay with Griot's Speedshine, polish and then wax. Not sure if drying before using clay is totally necessary as you're going to spray the paint with a lubricant (Speedshine) to make the clay slide across the paint. As far as washing before or after polishing, I've not done that. Once I finish polishing I really don't want anything on the paint before the wax goes down.

Sometimes it's necessary to clean the car after polishing because of all the dust.

moto_italia 10-11-2011 07:49 PM
^ Ah. Good point - makes sense.
