^^ I use the Hex Logic black finishing pads when using the Menzerna P4500. I really like those. The other day I had to use an orange Hex Logic pad with the Menzerna to get a bird crap stain off my bumper.

I'm hoping I like the Reflect. I'm going on your recommendation bud lol!

My last go around I had all kinds of challenges with Reflect. I was using LC hybrid Black & Hydro Crimson pads - finally got it working with the Crimson. I've since ordered some Buff n Shine pads which are super soft.

Don't prime the like you usually do, doesn't take much product 3-4 drops on the pad, 3-4 passes should be good...

^^Ok. The clearcoat on my hood and Cervinis Roadster tops is very soft compared to the OEM on the rest of the car. Do you think the Reflect will work well? What sort of issues did you have with Reflect?

With the black hybrid pad, I was getting these little tick marks. I found out I was using way too much product then I tried the crimson pad, it was better but I wasn't getting that wow factor when I used Reflect on a Benz. 00blkvert suggested switching to BnS pads but I've since UKd my paint so wont' be polishing anytime soon. I hope the issue was just my paint...

Lol. I'm gonna be going UK or OC or gtechniq c1 on my wifes edge. Gotta decide and find time to do it.

UK over OC 2.0 and Gtechniq for sure but I am a firm believer in CarPro. Corey Caruths quality, customer service, and product knowledge beat anyone else in the industry.

I've been extremely happy with all the CarPro products I have. Ran into some challenges with Reflect buy I'm sure its the pad and/or my technique polishing...

Corey's customer service is top-notch!

I think everyone had issues at first with technique regarding Reflect but once it got dialed in, the results were amazing both with a decent amount of cut and a phenomenal degree of finish!

I'm very curious to see how the scholl concepts stuff stacks up, I'm still skeptical so I only ordered the 9 oz bottles and it was still expensive!

Corey also mentioned that Fixer is getting a new formula similar to how Reflect reacts and super easy to wipe clean.

looking forward to your results...

Well I tried out the Reflect polish last night on my black Harley. It does a good job at removing light scratches and swirls but unfortunately it leaves a micro foggy haze to the finish when buffed off and examined under my high power Brinkman LED light. I put it on with my black Hex Logic polishing pad. To eliminate the haze left from the Reflect I grabbed my trusty bottle of Menzerna P4500 using the same pad and the finish came out like liquid black glass as usual. I know different polishes react differently on different paints so I will try the Reflect on my Mustang next.

Reflect is all in technique and pad. Some of the best detailers I know had issues at first but once you get figured out, the finish is amazing! And it isn't as oily as 4500. Try it with a Crimson Lake Country pad or a blue Buff and shine if you have those. Hex logic and CCS are older style pads, the new stuff works really well
