wiping will take care off most of the polish residue, but there will be some left on the paint needing to be cleaned off after.\u00a0 Instead of wiping to no end, just leave it on there and come back with either IPA or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Chemical-Guys-M31\/Extreme-EZ-Creme-Glaze-with-Acrylic-Shine-II-P192\/16-oz-S1\/\" target=\"_blank\">CGEZCG<\/a> and remove the remainder.<\/p>\n<p>Its a super fine polish designed to enhance the gloss ten fold and remove only the slightest micromarring (pad dependent here).\u00a0 It&#8217;s a &#8220;jeweling polish&#8221;, not an abrasive one.\u00a0 If you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Ultra-Finishing-Polish-205-P389\/32-oz-S1\/\" target=\"_blank\">meguiars 205<\/a>, or <a

difference.\u00a0 For those black cars, I haven&#8217;t used a better finishing polish.\u00a0 Usually, my middle step is Powerfinish and, sometimes, I can stop there, but not on black cars.\u00a0 While powerfinish looks good, check out the difference it makes on this Ferrari paint:<\/p>\n<p>(top part with SF4500, bottom part not)<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
