Default ?? on using TED K techniques....

when applying 3m IHG do u apply it with applicator in circular motions. When u buff it, do u go back abd forth or circular buffs.
The P21s cleaner and blitz wax go on back-forth and get buffed the same way.

This three step process safe to do on a 4 month old car or should i just use a good wax.

Default i think he said the ONLY thing that goes on in circular motion is the 3M IHG - since it is filling..

scratches and imperfections. I would take off the 3M in a back and forth, since you are not filling anymore, just removing the glaze. As I read it all other stuff goes on in a back in forth motion..following the air over the car. I printed it out yesterday and going to give it all a whirl! Ive got a black 01 A4 thats getting pretty bad!

of blitz, 24 hours apart

Default info from Ted - yes buff off 3M IHG w/ circular motion...>

Okay, now to preparing the paint prior to normal waxing. 3M IHG is a
chemical filler, and will fill in scratches. That's why this is the only
product that you apply and buff off your car in circles (everything else is
done in an even back and forth motion). You can apply and buff IHG off up
to 3 times in succession and still see further improvements. After 3, it's
not going to do much else, so move on to a good polish, my favorite being
P21S Gloss Enhancing Paintwork Cleanser (GEPC). Then wax with Blitz.

Polish should come before glaze.
