Tufshine is good stuff you just need to clean the hell out of the tires first...
Do you have a foam applicator like the one in the video? Also, did you order the Tuf Shine Kit that comes with the tire cleaner?
oops. I only ordered the clearcoat. Changing my order right now for the whole kit.
I don't have an applicator like that. Something that I can pick up locally? Or I do have a hole crap load of these.

That should work, you can also use a foam finishing pad
I NEVER put any tire crap on my tires. I absolutely hate that wet tire look. Maybe once it a while I would throw a very tiny amount of trim dressing on them to get them looking black. I may not even apply it until I get new tires since mine are getting pretty old.
I have a couple crimson lake country pads as well
I might try to find something similar local. I don't feel like making myself look stupid on the phone twice in one hour.
Any tips on using a PC. I've had mine for about 2 years now, and it just doesn't seem to get the scratches out. Nothing deep at all, but no matter how many times I try it, I just can't get it. I put enough pressure on it to just start to slow it down, make several passes and work the product until it is dry. Using M105/205

M105 with the blue, M205 with the tangerine, and then blacklight with the crimson.
No, I didn't know it was necessary to clean them after each section. Maybe I'll pick up some menzerna in the spring. My 105 and 205 are starting to run low. I'm not crazy enough about my paint to pay $300+ for a flex though.
Really...I typically do at least a few panels with each pad before changing them out. How many pads do you keep on hand?
I have 2 of each. I'm fairly new to using pads and a PC. I learned how to buff and polish on a rotary with a wool pad. To be honest, this stuff overwhelms be a bit and I kind of shut down haha.
How should I go about cleaning pads? Just leave the DA on an hold the pad to a towel to clean off the excess product and paint? I'm a casual detailer, I don't want or need to have $100+ in pads for my car.
