I know you pro detailers will slap a big FAIL on most of the methods/products in this video  :laugh: but i'm interested in the bit at about 6:10 into the clip

thoughts?

looks like hes being very rough and ready with the paint. I know that this detail doesnt really seems to be achieving any correction, but i cant see how it wont mark the paint.

Put it this way, if he did that on a car i had prepared, youd most certainly notice some marks on the paint.

Mind you, the same goes for claying, most people will mark the paint

Hi peeps.
I wouldn't use it personally, it seems far to vigourous to work without causing serious marring or swirls. I bet the lube is full of oils/fillers making it look great at first....masking the damage its caused. I'll stick to my mild clay, by hand and slowly and carefully.

After all, whats the rush?  :wink:

Oh and after some research I've discovered that its made by Turtle Wax.
