Note that this soap will clean very well, but it will strip protection and even wear on coatings. It is recommended that you use this to prepare for correction.

Go to polishes:
** You don’t need to have many different polishes and compounds, you should find a line of correction liquid that you like and GET FAMILIAR WITH IT!! 3D one is a product that you should for sure try!! When you are getting into paint correction it can be very confusing as the market is flooded with different polishes and compounds, pads, machines, etc. Just know that the results you get are from the PAD, not necessarily the liquid you are using!! So if you are working on a hard clear coat and don’t get the results you are seeking, it’s not the polishes fault... try using a more aggressive pad. If you are doing a multiple step correction and are seeking near perfection, then you may also want to step up to a more aggressive polish/compound and then finish with a less aggressive pad and liquid. Hopefully this made sense. If not or you want even more detailed information watch the videos I linked in this resource! **

Exterior detailing FAQ’s:
How do I dress motorcycle tires?:
I don’t dress them. It can make them slippery and cause an accident. I clean them really well then use McKee’s 37 Floor Mat & Cargo Liner Rejuvenator.
