So I just used the treasure cove kit on a playfield and very happy with the results; I am just wondering; should I apply a coat of blitz wax also? I am putting it on location and would like to keep it top notch. I have read that blitz wax is one of the hardest (and best) waxes, so even thou I used the treasure cove kit, should I go above and beyond???
I'm half tempted to spend the $80 for the treasure cove kit.
Can't the buffer pads be purchased at a hardware store though? Use a little novus, etc?
well, if you are like me... I didn't take the best care of the pads, washing after etc... but the kit.... MAN I feel it is totally worth it. I have cleaned at least 6 games and still have lots of product left.. people are astonished seeing before and after.... I will always have treasure cove in my garage.. I do need new pads thou... Treasure Cove should offer a new pad kit without the product... I would be in.. I should check their website....
You can find other compounds and pads that will work, but a big part of what you are paying for here is the fact that TC has already done the hard work for you - figuring out what is safe, what works best, etc.
I've used TC with good results. Then a good coat or two pure caranuba and rooool on.
side note: I have had the TC kit about 18 months, always in a climate controlled area, but after the first six months my #1 and #3 compounds seperated and turned watery, the #2 stayed good. Anybody else have this problem?
Quoted from dhalem:Nothing against TC, but I've had excellent results with various Meguair's products and the drill buffer kit from Amazon.
Could you post some links of the products?
Thanks!!
YAH, all I found on amazon was a drill kit that had four buffing pads for $80.00 that's too much!!!!

Should this mean you should just shake up the product to remix it?

I had the same issue. Wound up tossing it and never went back. Use 3M and Meguairs products now.
Quoted from Deez:Could you post some links of the products?
Thanks!!
This is what I use:
Meguiar's Mirror Glaze 80 Diamond Cut Compound 2.0
3M 06064 Perfect-It Machine Polish
3M 06068 Perfect-It Ultrafine Machine Polish
Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer
All available on Amazon in larger bottles then TC and cheaper, at least when I purchased them, in price!
