Despite the cold weather, I got ambitious yesterday and detailed the exterior of my Touareg. Did some Griot's clay and #4 polish, and complete application of 3M Performance Finish Synthetic Wax. I've always done my cars by hand but this time I got a Griot's 6-inch random orbital polisher to to the hard work.
The 3M synthetic goes on and off very easily! You don't allow it to dry, just do a section with the machine (or by hand) and wipe it dry immediately. No visible residue, no white powder, no sign of it on the rubber or plastic trim. The finish shines very well and feels smooth as glass. A little goes a long way - A bottle of this stuff should last for many applications.
Anyway, wondering if anyone has tried this and has any comment? Couldn't find anything in a search.
BTW the Griot's random orbital with their pads & polish works great. I was very hesitant to use a machine on the paint but it turned out beautiful.
