It never ends ... I got this one off of Amazon but it's also on eBay for a little less.
Looks like it's never been used. It wasn't in any sealed cellophane, just in a bubble mailer loose.
So instead of my Owner's Manual being in a Ziploc bag, it's now in this.
Does it make life better?
Beats me, but it does up my HP and offset some of those damper issues ... yeah baby!

The GF doesn't understand why it is such a relaxing thing for me to clean the cars - there is just something about starting with a flat, dirty thing and it coming out a different color and clear reflections off the paint.
I will have to watch the video
This is the drying aide we use - wet coat - https://www.esotericcarcare.com/gyeon-q2m-wetcoat/
A little bit goes a long way. wash - spray this on, rinse off - dry. #beads
By expert, you mean dealer/pusher, right? ;-)
are you hand applying or machine applying? just curious
I have used something like this from turtle wax to apply a step up from wax - the issue I had was it required a 2 step wipe, a damp cloth and a dry cloth. it was just an extra step that was annoying and if you left it to long it would require some real elbow grease to get off...
Do you - err She have a machine to apply/polish?

I gotta say, I am on another forum that uses XenForo and they have a bullseye in the reactions . . . I didn't realize how much I missed that reaction until this post. . .

No machine (yet!). Although she does love doing it but would like to pick up a little speed, so maybe a polisher is a good idea? She spends about 3-4 hours doing a detail of her Mazda CX-5, inside and out. Some of the issue is her height of 5 foot, so getting the middle of the hood and the roof lows her down.The GF doesn't understand why it is such a relaxing thing for me to clean the cars - there is just something about starting with a flat, dirty thing and it coming out a different color and clear reflections off the paint.

Thanks on the links, both look good and I will absolutely order the Q2M Wet Coat right now (says keep out of direct sunlight, very easy to do up here in New Hampshire).
And that's a good price on the Turtle Graphene/Ceramic product.
But, shhhh, don't let @AzScorpion see these treasonous posts, he's not only the president of Graphene and Damper club, he's also a client!

You've come such a long way though!
Although, now with Graphene, you could have a dazzling shiny head! =D

Get one of these. Entry level and they do a great job.

Thanks and I like this - Christmas shopping for Kate on the Ranger5G forum!
I also like Porter Cable, so this one would be perfect (for both of us). =)

While they all do the same thing... I go by the, buy once, cry once philosophy.
We have the 5" and 3" versions of these... https://www.autogeek.net/rupes-bigfoot-lhr-15-markiii-polisher.html
This is where I sourced mine from... https://www.esotericcarcare.com/rupes-lhr15-bigfoot-mark-iii/
They are nice machines, but expensive.
