I bought the PC & this big white pad came with it. What do you use this pad for? [The pad that is on the PC in this picture]

Alright guys, I finally got some touch-up paint from the dealership. I'm amazed at how well it actually matches the paint on my truck. I've started to gradually fill in the rock chips and a couple of scratches. With a couple of applications, I've got them built up so that I'm now ready to wet sand and buff. I read the thread about scratch repair that someone else posted before, but honestly, I'm terrified of taking sandpaper to my truck. I have looked around all the auto parts stores locally and I'm only finding 1500 and 2000 grit paper. Do I need anything finer than that or will those work? I'm guessing I start VERY lightly with the 1500 just to bring down the level of the paint and then move to the 2000 to finish the sanding. Do you sand in circles or just go with the direction of the scratch? What about for the rock chips? Is it better to use water, or would I be safer with a spray detailer for a little more lubrication? After that, will compound and orange pad on PC be the next step to remove dull look and any swirl marks? I wish I had an inconspicuous place to practice this first, but the scratches are in noticeable areas. Stupid, #%$#%$, freaking, #%$#%$, jackass, #%$#%$ people who don't care about rubbing against or bumping other people's vehicles!!!! Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Any advice you guys have that might keep me from destroying my paint would be much appreciated!!

Anyone ever heard of or used this stuff?

Wizards Products Motorcycle Polish - webBikeWorld

but that's it.


Got the Tundra washed and waiting and was gonna go over it tonight with clay, Scratch-X and Zaino (already have), but was tryin to find some DG stuff locally (from Brandon's write-up, but can't find it anywhere). Then I stumbled on this Wizards stuff....thoughts?????

I bought my wife an 06 4Runner, white, and it was dark that evening at the dealership. The paint looked a little hazy, but I figured I could get a great shine back. That weekend, I spent all day with a PC using compounds, polishes, and sealants to get it back to showroom shine.

About a month later, paint looks like sh-t again. Did the same thing. My buddy was at the dealership talking to someone there and they have the same problem. He heard that Toyota doesn't put a clearcoat on their white vehicles. He said the only thing to do is to keep waxing it each month...Anyone heard of this? :confused:

The usual story ran out of QD (Z6) so had to get some at the local auto parts store.I go to advanced start looking at my choices and then i remember advanced started carrying surf city garage products.Looking at display a grabbed a bottle of the speed demon QD

My thoughts
My first squeeze of the handle i thought this is going to be a good experience.the spray pattern wide and fine,putting out just enough product, If timed properly I'm sure you could get even coverage on the entire hood in one pass.
Smell- to me it smells a cinnamon toothpaste (if you ever tried some) not too overpowering but pleasant.
Application - it was easy on/off.
slickness/Protection - This is the best part after about a week of driving and a couple of rainy days i could still feel the slickness.Felt the same as when i first put it on.
The wet look factor - It definitely made my silver sky look very wet and had a depth to it i had never before seen with Z6.
Price - it is on the high side but i think it well worth it.
