hi markclarckoo... ips stands for innovative polishing systems located

OK thanks. Never heard of IPS.
I was born and raised in fayetteville/spring lake. All my family is still there. I'll refer them to you if they need something.

I have an IPS hl kit from a few years ago , don't use it anymore. It worked OK except the final polish Kleeer Finish doesn't last long , 1 wash with regular car wash soap and dull again. But, may be improved now.

Tried IPS and a whole lot of other products ... finally found a good combination of a few products which works very well. Rightlook has a good system and most of the products I use are from them.

My product:

Pre Treatment Cleaner from Rightlook (good stuff)
A whole bunch of sand paper from hardware store (400 -> 2000 grit)
A good polishing compound (non-wax type)
Shine Restorer Protector from Rightlook (excellent gloss finish)

That's about all you need and results are amazing!

thanks K9mkt.. ips has a new nanocoating for lens.i will check out rightlook
but really wanted to know how you do with the tough film..like jeep cherokee
do you just wet sand or do you have another product??

If it's better sandpaper you're looking for try Mirka Abralon it won't wear-out like regular silica (black) sandpaper. mrchip you may want to start with a rougher grit.

hi sunshinewr.. the new topcoat ips has will last from 6 months to 2 years..
i went as low as 320 grit.. never heard of mirka abralon.. i assume i can get it at body shop supply?? what did you charge per car???
