u have to use g3 wet or it will burn through the clear coat

though if u use 3m or menzerna style polish u dont have to cos its water based and is quite a watery texture

james try using G10 its a finer version, its meant to be fordarker colours but it works a treat on all colours

i prefer farecla to 3M, always disappointed with the finish of 3M especially its handglaze wax, that is poo
