MF and mothers aluminum polish would be the least aggressive.
Next would either be a more aggressive polish(I don't know what that is)and a MF
After that would be mothers polish and 0000 steel wool.
Obviously after the mothers(i'm using this as an example)and the steel wool you would need to step down to a MF and the same polish and/or a finer one like mothers billet.
There are so many products out there its hard to say what exactly what you should use. Sometimes a combo that shouldn't work does.

I know Jeff use to recommend using the polish w/ steel wool but changed his mind to polish/MF towel.
However I don't know EXACTLY what circumstances where made in the decision.
Yes polish and steel wool is aggressive but sometimes its the only thing that seems to work.
What finish(polished aluminum, stainless, chrome)will play a big role in what you decide to go with.

There was a guy on the M3 forums this year who got hit with the splash from a large container of road paint on the freeway. $25k worth of brakes, body kit, carbon fiber, and suspension all ruined by the road paint. They totaled out the car.
Road paint is a nightmare. You may have to have the city pay to repaint the truck. Road paint is designed to last YEARS of the most strenuous abuse.

Verdad Gallardo Yes, but I was not impressed by them. I'd give them a C+ compared to other products from Meguiars and Menzerna.

Just a quick Blackdiamond question: I purchased my last large bottle of Wet Diamond and on the bottom its dated 4/2011 so I assume its the old version? Anywho; Apply, let dry apx hr to hr and a half, remove then followed by 2nd coat after first cures for 24 hrs, sound about right?

Thanks for the tip. I will be sure to keep it on.
If we could, could we talk about cleaning the interior? I know its been brought up a few times through out the thread. I know Folex and a few other products have been mentioned. I guess I'm looking for a little more, like the depth of information that has been covered with paint correction.
With interiors, like exteriors, there is no one solution for cleaning/correcting every problem. From the countless hours I have spent on Autopia reading about interiors there is just as much if not more technique/knowledge than exteriors.
I know the thread has stalled a little bit, so I was wondering if we could change the direction somewhat.
I doubt that Jeff gets the Caravans will soda all over the inside of it but I would like to be able to break down what products/techniques you use for different types of stains.
