    So you are using PW as a paint cleaner? Interesting. Does Epic have abrasives in it, or was it the pad doing the correction, and the Epic was the "lube"?

    Yeah, I've been finding a lot of different uses for PW. Anytime I need to remove a contaminant/paint transfer...for example a scratch...I'll try PW first.

    On that BMW there was some interior pieces that are wood and clearcoated. There was a scuff, and a simple wipe of PW, and it was gone.

    It can save tremendous time during the cleaning stages. Just don't try to clay over a section that's been cleaned with PW..the clay will stick to it. Instead, I polished the area, then clayed afterwards.

    Epic doesn't have any abrasives in it, so the pad is what determines the level of correction.

    Being able to polish with Epic, and not even having to wax it after you are done, means you can quick polish the paint. Also Epic will dry much faster when used this way.

    So Richard you're saying just the polish with Epic is all you're doing? No BG afterwards? Interesting...

    Let me just clarify that I'm showing another technique with Prima products. Sometimes a quick polish wash is all you want. The paint isn't flawless. For that, I would need to use Swirl first. Also remember this is white paint which is more forgiving. I wouldn't use BG on white paint because I don't think the warming effect of the carnauba is desirable. Epic or Hydro would be my wax choices.
