It might just be me, but I can''t tell the difference from the pictures between washing/drying, and washing/drying/wet paint. I mean, I can tell the difference between the dirty car, and the WP''d car on the website''s video, but other than that, I couldn''t tell the difference between the WP, and the ICE polish I picked up the other day.

Ordered my friend a combo pack for his birthday and I made sure to mention Rick from Texas. Will post pics up as soon as project is completed. I am stoked.

Exceptional look as a matter of fact. Start with a clean dry surface. Using a white finishing pad spread the product on speed 3 (put WP on the surface and the pad) then go to speed 6 for a short time until WP almost disappears. If you go to 6 and it slings product slow down to 3 and work it some more. It may take a panel or two to get the knack for it. You can feel when you have worked it enough. Wipe it down with a microfiber towel and proceed. It is called burnishing the finish and the look will knock your tallywacker in the dirt!

Thank you RTexasF. I had a feeling you''d answer

. By the way, will wp do any correction if a cutting pad is used?

Yes and no. It will do correction with a rotary and a wool pad. In all honesty I haven''t tried it with a PC or Cyclo. It''s worth a try with an orange or yellow pad for light correction.

Thanks for your time. I will do the white pad and pc this week. If I give the orange pad a shot on my girlfriends vehicle I''ll let you know how it went.

They do make wool pads for the PC and I have some. I''''''''ve only used them as backing for a microfiber or terrycloth bonnet thus far. If I''''''''ve got heavy correcting I break out the Cyclo and an abrasive polish.

You are welcome. Keep the pressure light on the PC, you want as much rotation as possible when burnishing. Smaller pads work even better allowing more rotation.
