For those who ordered the Ryobi 18V polisher recently this might come in handy, Turtle Wax Polishing Compound, usually ~$60

It's a 1-step correct/cut and polish, but I would recommend still using a wax afterwards. You can also use the same compound and just change the pads to select the amount of cutting required. Usually you would use matching compound and pads.

During my research I found Repco also have them for $20 but more SCA stores around me have them in stock:

    nice find

  • Mums Poop Sock on 17/01/2023 - 14:16

    Perfect timing. I love this stuff, stays wet and lubricated for ages and is super forgiving. Great for an amateur like me just using a polishing head on hiw battery drill.

      From my amateur detailing days: it's actually far more forgiving (budget allowing) to use a random orbital polisher like the Ryobi unit OP mentioned.

      Looking it up again just now, I discovered at least 3 different polishing machines — your regular battery drill probably falls under "Rotary Buffer': What’s the Difference with Dual Action, Random Orbit, and Rotary Buffers

      Rotary polishers are simple in concept but much more difficult to control and master than random orbital polishers. Rotary polishers spin the pad in a circular motion… This consistent motion causes a lot of friction (which is also cut) but friction causes heat. This extreme heat is dangerous and can damage a vehicles finish.

    Can you do this by hand or do you need an electric polisher?

      For small jobs like behind the door handles I use a small foam applicator pad (https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/meguiars-meguiars-foam-a…) and hand 'polish'. But you'll want a polisher if doing whole panels.

      If you're new to DIY polishing, I would not recommend a drill as there's no 'random orbit' motion to them, just the spin so it can burn into the paint really quickly. This is in no way negatively directed at Mums' above comment, just not something a beginner should do.

      I've done a medium SUV by hand before - possible, just takes longer. Perhaps alot longer ;-) In both cases, but especially by hand I found the polishing much easier if you had done a clay bar before hard. (eg) https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/meguiars-meguiars-smooth…

    • Bretttick on 17/01/2023 - 14:58

      You can use any sealant, wax, ceramic etc

  • JSONBourne on 17/01/2023 - 14:26

    Would you use this with a Ceramic coating applied afterwards?

    • Neilzy on 17/01/2023 - 14:32

      Certainly can. I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro To The Max Wax after the polishing compound. Then come back a week later and do another layer of Max Wax and shes good for 6 months. Bowdens own bead booster after washes in between to boost and maintain gloss.

      • JSONBourne on 17/01/2023 - 14:35

        Awesome sounds great. I've never done a cut and polish but it's been on my mind for a while. Will give this a shot!

        When you apply it how do you keep it off plastic trim? Do you mask it off or are you just careful about where you put the polisher?

        • Neilzy on 17/01/2023 - 14:40

          In the beginning I used painters tape to keep it off plastic trim, then when I got used to it (lazy) I was mindful of where i ran the polisher.

          The turtle wax cut n polish is quite forgiving but id still go a door panel (or half a bonnet/ roof) at time and get some good pads. I use Chemical guys pads

          Hope this helps

          • JSONBourne on 17/01/2023 - 14:45

            @Neilzy: Thanks for the heads up. I'll try and source some good pads now. It looks like you can't get Chemical Guys at SCA. Do you have any recommendations for some substitutes? This will be the first time cut/polishing my car so just want to do it right while not spending the earth if you have any ideas.

            EDIT: Looks like the Chemical Guys White pads or equivalent are the correct one to use for very minor swirl damage?

              @JSONBourne: I got mine from Amazon US and I think its reasonably priced. Im on my second set now, though the last set has lasted a few years or about 20 cars worth (3 cars and a ute here) : https://www.amazon.com.au/Chemical-Guys-HEX_3KIT_6-Buffing-I…

              Comes with a pad cleaning solution too. though look up how to clean pads. One cheap effective method i found was to use diluted normal dish detergent, massage it in to break up the wax and squeeze it out.

              @JSONBourne: Yep. I use Orange pad for Cutting, White for Polish and Gray for Wax application

      • Obake on 17/01/2023 - 14:42

        This, and I use spray some Turtle Wax Hybrid Flex or Duragloss Aquawax (I buy it by the gallon) while the car is still wet and only apply wax couple of times a year.

    This vs. Meguiar's ultimate compound? Pretty similar value in terms of volume for cost

  • rainbowunicorn on 17/01/2023 - 14:49

    Finish with Seal and Shine for protection

  • Spending2Much on 17/01/2023 - 18:40

    How much was this normally?

    Is there a wasy to see SCA 'before' prices

    I'm not sure if the Chemical Guys Tough Mudder wash is a good price or not?
    On that note, this item is marked in red 'NOW $20'
    Same as the Mother's Speed clay also marked in red on webpage 'Now $29'

    Whereas the CG Tough Mudder Wash is marked in black 'Now $39'

    Does anyone know what that means?

  • Spending2Much on 12/02/2023 - 03:37

    $10 now

    Cheap enough to throw a tenner and see how good it is
