Do you guys also sell a polish and a sealer or a polish/sealer. Also do you have any swirl remover that might be a bit more abrasive if that 1 doesnt take everything out. I used a 3m machine glaze b4 and it did not quite get everything out is the tc-8 a little more abrasive? This is what I used...

You may use a liquid or paste carnauba wax over top of the sealant for an additional layer of protection. It will provide additional depth on darker colors, however it may tend to mute metallic pop at the same time.
I would say our TC-8 is about a 5.0-5.5 (more so if used on a rotary with a black or white foam pad) on a 10 pt. aggression scale when used with the PC/orange pad combo setup. Now we have just made available for sale at $19.99/Qt., 3M Perfect-It II Rubbing Compound (#05973). According to 3M Technical Support, this is rated at about 6.5 out of 10 while your #6064 is graded at 3.0 according to 3M's aggressiveness scales.

Cool I got some rubbing compound also but I wasnt wanting to go that aggressive my dad paints cars and I have b4 also but I always just wet sanded and buffed with the factory paint im not sure how much clear there is. Looks like the tc-8 is a little more aggressive then the 3m swirl remover I was using it might be just right on my rotary with a white pad. Thanks a lot for you help.

1. If we are to use the 3m Perfect-it II Rubbing compound with the yellow pad, what speed setting should we use?
2. How fast should we move the Porter cable? Similar to TC-8 1 inch per 1 second?
3. After we are done using the pad, can we clean the pad and reuse it on different vehicles or should the pad be a one time use thing?
4. You have stated on some different forums that the Perfect-It II Rubbing Compound may haze a dark colored car. I assume once you have used the Rubbing Compound you would use the TC-8 and that would take out the haze. Is this correct?
Thanks for your time,
Chris

The pads can be cleaned and reused and the rubbing compound is a little much I think unless you have some really bad spots it will most likely haze then you will have to go back over it with a finishing glaze. A good swirl remover with the orange pad should do the trick.

I would just like to mention the great customer service I recieved today! I placed my original order early this morning, yet for some reason my paypal never sent out the payment. I contacted Tropi-Care immediatly asking if they recieved the payment, and if not that they can cancel that order and I will place another order with my CC.
In almost no time at all I had an e-mail from steve saying that I could just call their toll free # and use my CC. I called a few time, but the line was busy each time. I e-mailed Steve again and explained my trouble. He ended out calling me directly, and I was able to place my order in no-time at all.
I appreciate the extra effort. He said they are swamped with orders thanks to us! I'll be sure to keep business with them for replacement pads, and other Tropi-Care products!

It may now be necessary to use our TCP-02 yellow foam "cutting" pad and appropriate chemical for removal of these stubborn blemishes. Severe instances may call for the use of a rotary polisher for complete relief (experienced users only). Once completed, you can then follow up with the orange pad combo for restoring clarity to the surface.
Feel free to contact us by PM or toll-free at (866)341-0050 for any other questions.
