well, to clarify since you are always taking everything I say out of context...

I viewed a report on the effects of wetsanding and compounding and polishing on a traditional factory clear coat a while back.

In that report, a total of 8-10 microns of paint were removed from the start to finish - sanding, compounding to remove sanding marks, polishing to remove compounding haze, fine polishing to get absolute clarity, NO wax. Now, if you take that 40/40/40 scenario, you are looking at about 30 safe microns left before you blow through the clear.

If you remove 2 microns of paint with minor polishing two times a year, then you have about 6 years of safe detailing on the car.

If you have a car with the 30/30/30 platform, then you only have 4 years of safe detailing....

just pointing things out that arent always talked about...not trying to take away from you man, relax.
