I love how detailed your posts are! Keep it up, I'm basically learning how to detail via your efforts.

Todd you say that you wiped then entire automobile down gently with Meguiar's M34 Final Inspection and a soft Cobra microfiber. Then you went to step 5 and applied the wax. Apparently you didn't have any bonding concerns going over the final finish?

No, M34 doesn't leave anything behind so no concerns!

I have been so busy this year that I havent had much time to spend on the site. But I'm sitting here wondering if I should believe my eyes. If i'm not mistaken I just read a write -up from Todd Helme that had him Finishing with a pad made of something other than foam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I have to go over this thread again. I must have missed a couple of pictures describing the final, final polish to see the gold or red pad somewhere.

Honestly Todd, you can finish with a MF pad?

Thanks todd I've never used Meguiar's M34 Final Inspection. So it can be used like an IPA wipe?

This is true. I finished the hard Audi paint with a MF finishing pad. I did try foam to compare but it made zero difference in the outcome and the MF was working much faster. How have you been?

Not really like IPA. I have seen it remove some oils before, but that is not the intended role. It is a super gentle product that is perfect for removing dust or smudges with out leaving anything behind (on the surface) that could interfere with polishing/waxing/sealing.

The 'behind-the-scene's' products used were BLACKFIRE All N One All Purpose Cleaner and BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun Instant Carnauba Detailer.
