i just ordered a bottle of this stuff to use on my car and im really exicted!, it says to use it with a finishing pad with an orbital so im curious, i have the griots orbital and their red wax pad, would that do?:help:
That's the DODO juice paint cleaner that has abrasives? Does it matter if you use Lime Prime or Lime Prime Lite?
If i understand correctly Lime prime Lite doesnt have the abrasives that the regular stuff does, its just a cleaner glaze... btw whats the difference between a glaze and a polish? polish only has cutting power but glazes have cutting and filling power?
The term "glaze" has no categorical significance. Meguiar's Speed Glaze (#80) is an abrasive polish. Albeit this product does contain filler, it is formulated to mechanically remove defects. Meguiar's Show Car Glaze (#7) is a gloss enhancer. It does contain filler; however, this product is formulated to improve gloss rather than remove defects and/or protect finished surfaces. Z***l Royale Estate Glaze is a carnauba wax. It does not contain filler and is formulated to amplify gloss and protect finished surfaces. Please realize this information is based upon my comprehension of the products mentioned above; this information is not intended to be formal in any fashion.
I find that in most products, Glaze is usually something that contains fillers and is simply to increase shine/ hide minor swirl marks. Of course it varies, but that is what I use for a general definition of glaze.
I used Lime Prime on my Mini Cooper S before I sold it. I popped on a finishing pad, used a little on each panel before some SuperNatural. Your pad selection should be fine, and you'll be happy with the quick work it makes out of a slightly needy panel.
hell yea, im stoked about this stuff, cant wait to see what it looks like after this and a few coats of supernatural, thanks for all the info guys, they need to regulate how the term glaze is used
I have used LP a few times now when needing a little bit of cut for enhancement details (light swirl removal), IMO it performs better on a Meguiars polishing pad (yellow) than it would using a finishing pad, just gives the edge in the way of cut and finishing. From this. To this.
Of course you didn't have any before / after pics on any regular cars, eh? Glad to see you over here.
