  We just had a 2012 Jeep Wramgler come into and it has the soft top. <br><br>I&apos;ll just say now - thanks, Mike. <br><br>I actually did a test spot last week with 3D ONE (the boss bought me 3D ACA510 and ONE) and a blue LC SDO pad. I&apos;ll try the orange with ONE on Tuesday. <br><br>Incidentally, I&apos;m using the Porter Cable 7424xp at thw ahop too. I try the 15mm Adams, and Miluakee cordless, but I&apos;m more efficient with the Porter Cable.

  Thanks Mike, &nbsp;I used your link to order the NSP but I couldn&apos;t find the Paint Coatings Builder. &nbsp;Does it have another name? &nbsp;Thanks, Rob

  Love it, Mike. Everyone, I was at Mike&apos;s detail school in September/2025 and I highly recommend it. You&apos;ll learn things that you won&apos;t get anywhere else. Fact. (Sean--Silicon Valley).

  So i had a detail shop for over a decade. Worked on marine crafts and vehicles. Im not going to say that the technique you showed on this video isn&apos;t right, or isn&apos;t a good procedure. However, I will say that I&apos;ve used lemon pledge and micro fibers on all of those types of windows, especially on boats. Always cleared them up and left a little protection as well. Probably more of a short cut/temporary fix, but ive never once had any complaints and had repeat customers.

  Some direct links would be good. &nbsp;I don&apos;t see a product called &apos;Paint Coating Builder&apos;

  Good morning sir! &nbsp;You helped me with the rear window polishing. &nbsp;<br>Your guidance was excellent. &nbsp; <br>However, the vinyl rear window seems wrinkled now (possibly stretched) as I did my best to put little/no pressure. &nbsp;<br>Do you have a solution to iron it out and make it less wrinkled looking? &nbsp;🙏🏼

  Mike I really benefited from your video. I am currently trying to get a plan to clean mine. It looks to be in similar condition to the 442. If cost was a factor for me which of the two products you should should I purchase? If I get the less abrasive product, could repeated passes or a different pad allow me to achieve a good result? Many thanks. I subscribed and am eager to see your other videos-Scott

  Hello Mike, I think this is the last question. &nbsp;<br>What do you think of Meguiar’s PlastX as opposed to NSP 95? &nbsp;<br>I’m asking because I already have the PlastX, but I will buy whatever you recommend.

  Hey again, my rear window is very small. &nbsp;Do you recommend a smaller free spinning random orbital polisher? &nbsp; I think even a 5” pad may be difficult to get the small corners of the window. <br>Thank you!🙏🏼
