Some new polishing compounds i ran a test on

[Warpa]

I did this test a few weeks ago and have refrained from posting here as to not get myself into trouble:disgust: I am currently putting a guide together that will be available to anyone free, the same as the guide i already have out there for cars. The only reason i put things like this together are to try to help others get the results they are after without having to spend a fortune. The guide will work for any polish, any machine, any pad and a range of polishing compounds, obviously each part in the chain has a big say in the outcome. What i will say is that this polish (i used a range of cutting compounds, and compared to 3M which is my most used, obviously i have tried them all) this new compound was lets say...different

A lot easier to work whether using the full cut, or swirl remover, it just felt easier on the mop and gave better results.

A 'black' heavily oxidised Monterey, that my image hosting seems to be failing me :disgust:



This is the 600, as soon as i started i may have uttered a few expletives as i saw the results coming after just the one pass of the machine.



A 50/50

Do you have a link to the guide for cars. Great results

 

[Warpa]

yeppers...

This guide was based on the specific softness of the Nissan paint, which is soft, a harder cut could be used on a German car. There is a big difference between clear coat and gel coat, so you have a lot more room for error on gelcoat. Clear coat is measured in microns, gelcoat in mm, once the guide is ready it will give a full run down on how you can work the surface.

You may have to subscribe, if thats a problem for many i can put on a website, i dont do forums much these days as to busy with other things like this

Sorry if I am being thick, but do you say which polish you used to get these fantastic results?

 

[Warpa]

I purposely left those details out as ill be stocking them shortly.

 

[sarabande]

subtle, Warpa, but if it's that good, I'll form a queue

 

[Warpa]

I didnt plan on stocking anything, but did get asked to trial these, some of which are still being perfected. After seeing the results in a side by side test with other well known brands I thought I'd jump on the band wagon.
I would like to supply to the trade but want to be able to offer a package to the boat owners with a step by step guide, I also want to make a chart up so customers will know which grade compound to use.
The full test is up on another forum

I need some of that. Machine polished out the oxidation on my blue gelstripe last weekend......I now have arms like a Gibbon


Hurty shoulders.

Pretty impressive, don't suppose your heading Bristol way any time soon?

Pretty impressive, don't suppose your heading Bristol way any time soon?

For the right price we will head anywhere We are flat out for the next two weeks providing no more work comes in, having said that i have not had my 1st delivery of the new range of polishes, compounds and waxes that are manufactured using nanotechnology, results are the same upon completion, but a helluva lot more effort (arms like a gibbon indeed )

Full test can be viewed here.

I will get a video put together in the near future so all can see how much product, speed of the machine, and movement etc are needed for best results.

 

[Sneds]

Password needednfor that vid but look forward to seeing yours (if you'll excuse the expression)

Great work Warpa :encouragement: , I too would be interested in the polish & wax. I was about to purchase some 3M finesse it II , but if this stuff will be available soon, and is comparable to 3M price wise but with the better finish, - then I can wait. The boats still in the hayshed anyway I have previously been using Meguiars.

I assume it will be available via your website.

Keep up the good work

It will be yes, my order has gone in
I will also try to find time to get perhaps a tutorial video and or pics that will be available to help any out.

 

[Blackfeather]

That's a bit of a bu66er as i have just cut mine. However I am now looking for a recommendation (or supply ) of the best polish?

 

[Vitesse]

I'll be interested. I have the machine and the enthusiasm. My only victim so far is my daughter's Corsa. It did come up nice, though, and with it's value of £500, what could possibly go wrong?

My whaler is overdue some polishing attention.

Put me down for a couple of pints

Just updated my order and told them to get a shimmy on, for the resale yes, but I need to be using this stuff myself as its so much quicker. Also have some nano technology 'wax' ordered, I have been testing it for around 6 months on one half of a 500 mile a week car, its like another clear coat. I will adc that a few of the products are still being refined, but after the results I have had will only improve things.
There are a lot of products I have not listed yet, all will help the pro and the owner

Is this what my daughter calls social media marketing?

I have no idea, I would have to ask my daughter, she did say " dad you need a facebook page these days" so I let her get on with it, word of mouth is about the only marketing I know

 

[Warpa]

Just an update, most of the products are in stock now, shop is not live as I need to double check prices etc. Products can be purchased through me if needed. Im waiting on feedback and in the future welcome all feedback to confirm ease of use, superior finish and less product used. If any have boats stacked at Saxon in Southampton we will be using the new product on Harakoa, a boat we did last season that I now think we can take a day off the polish due to what we now use, and no that doesn't mean you'll get a full polish any cheaper

Like I sais, I need to do a bit of work on the above still.
