If I use this polish will it give me wet shine as well? Or should I put something on top of it before the wax?



And for the wax... I have meg. Gold wax... Ive heard if I use this it will make the polish useless true?
 
1200mk,



You should be OK with this, but if you want a bit more shine/gloss you could step down to the #3 Machine Glaze or #7 Show Car. Those are lower in scale than the SFP and will glaze it very well.



If you want to go to the 3M line, 3M PIII-FG since you are waxing, since it contains carnuba in it as well.



Another product, sometimes a bit tuff to remove or work is Menzerna FP, but when you get the hang of it, it brings out a great shine. I used it just with a grey finish pad as I want the polish and NOT the pad AND polish to work the finish, just the polish so I can obtain the best level of gloss.



You could even use a hand glaze if you choose, but they take time.



I's stick to what you're doing with the #82, look at it and then decide if you need more gloss. Then choose one of the above aforementioned and check again.



Gold Class may contain cleaners, I'm not sure. If you want, switch to a pure carnuba such as #26 over the polishes, this way there are no cleaners and just straight carnuba. Or, go to a bike shop, pick-up some S100 and try that. Most of the guys use this for a wax and have found it gives excelent results!



You could also go to a sealer or polymer such as Megs #20, Zaino, Klasse, BF etc. A bit different in prep (polish as before, but you MUST strip oils from polishes off for them to bond to the finish) and some use Dawn wash to strip the oils/silicones others use Alcohol/water mix. That's the only big issue is oils left from polishes interfering with a poly sealant bonding correctly.

So many recipes for that ultimate shine.... I have used 82 followed by 81(Hand Polish), with good results. Meguiar's claims their products can be used together, without the "Dawn"(Z) wash between applications. I tried it, and it worked. The 81 made it look wet, smooth, nice. Another Autopia member has put a poly right on top of 81 with good results. When I finish this other project that I'm working on, I'm going to do 81, 20 on top, and maybe 26(wax/poly blend) on top of the 20. I like the "small" water beads of 20, compared to the larger beads of 26, so that's why it's a "maybe".

Not at all, in fact, it will clean your paint a bit more deeply than #7 or #81. Personally, I like the shine you get from SFP and you can go straight to a wax, but I prefer using a glaze in between SPF and wax for an even deeper look.
