I have over the years accumulated all sorts of glider waxing products. I want to remove oxidized paint and to polish my glider (it has a polyurethane paint finish) to have a smooth finish and importantly to protect it against the very strong UV light in Texas
There is a lot of talk on the net about wax/ polish that contains silicon which can cause bonding problems. I have read e mails that say that short chain silicon’s products are ok. But how do you tell ? I would appreciate any comments on the appropriateness of these products and any recommendations regarding better products especially if they can be used with a orbital buffer. The products need tobe available in the US. The products that I have are as follows Paint restoration and de oxidation products 1 3M Rubbing compound 05973 2 3M Imperial microfinishing compound 3 Racers Edge Premium Polymer Restorer 2 to remove the oxidized layer 4 Dri wash 11 guard Oxygone (never used) Final Coat wax 1 Auto Magic XP Express was #89 Containing Mineral Spirit 64742-48-9 Water 7732-18-5 Aluminum Silicates 66402-68-4 Silicon Fluid 63148-62-9 Carnuba Wax 8015-86-9 Concerned about the silicon 2 Racers Egde Automotive polish Aliphatic Hydrogens 64742-96-7 and 8052-41-3 Morpholine 110 91 8 Stoddard solvents 8052 41 2 3 Then WX block for U 4 Granitize wax (never used) 5 Dri wash 11 guard waterless car wash and protective glase-ultra ion (Not used) All of the above have been recommended by one glider pilot or another. But which is the best? advice welcome |
