    Purchasing a clear coated pin and wondering what everyone has found to be the best to use on theirs.
    Thanks

    Use what to do what ?

    If clean, Williams diamond plate was a clear coat and usually Novus 2 to clean and a couple coats of a good carnauba wax.

    Novus 1, less abrasive. Hit novus 2 on some buildup if you have it later

    Though I would never intentially contradict Lloyd

    I do have an additional question, anyone got a good solution to getting some light ball swirls out of clear coat?

    No problem. It would be conceited to think one person knows everything or has experienced everything.

    I'd try on an inconspicuous spot some plain old fashioned tooth paste. Not gel or anything. See if that helps.

    That is such a wacky suggestion it has to work! I'll give it a go tomorrow! Whitening or non whitening

    Hope it does work, such a beautiful job on the clear that the swirls bother me. Not nought to stop playing it though
