    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Red and white cut polish,very old.Is there something else I should try or is this OK?In Canada so some stuff may not be avalible here.
 
Don't use that crappy polish on your new paint. Get some Meguiare's or 3M polish from a good auto parts store. There are all kinds of different polishes so it can be confusing. I used Meguiar's products: Fine-Cut Cleaner followed by DeepCrystal Polish and Show Car Glaze. The DeepCrystal was slightly finer than the Fine-Cut so there isn't a huge difference. At any rate, get some light cutting compound followed by a polish. The glaze is not strictly necessary unless you want a show finish. With a yellow paint job you won't need a killer polish anyway since light colors don't show the hazy as much as dark colors.

Good job and good luck.

Very little of the red stuff left.I really should throw it out.Didn't really want use the white stuff either.Get Meguiar's up here so I will look for that.Any other recommendations are welcome.
Thanks for the complement Nessism.
 
+1 on the McGuiers. Best in the business AFAIC. I use it on everything from body work to the case covers and pipes. Plus, bonus is it smells nice when it warms up on the motor :D
 
Looks like I'm going Meguiars then unless someone has another suggestion.

3M makes cuttign products. You should check out some autobody forums.

Even the white TW products will leave swirls.
