      Polishing b/c is exactly the same. When buffing it you can pull a shine back untill you go past the clear, then your fucked. With single stage you have the entire coat to pull a shine back with. Single is awesome for solid colors I dunno what your talking about. You get a scratch in your black car with single stage it's not gonna be white. Also honda milano red is kind of a mix of both, it has a red base and a clear coat with a minor red tint. If single is so bad why do companies like lexus and mitsu use it? Obviously 2 stage owns in some situation, sprayed it on my Z.

      My civic was pretty bad, pink in a lot of spots. Quick buff and some wetsanding on the bad areas. Not bad for a 1990. Original paint. still looks good after a long time since this buff.

                    Many auto companies use single stage paint because its cheaper!! Not because it has more gloss! But I will post pics of a singe staged black Lexus Im buffing.. Rail dust, overspray, tar, oxidation, swirls, holograms,buffer trails ..

                    Single stage paint oxidizes faster.. My opinion single stage paint is gayness. I think I have buffed/ polished/ sealed more cars than anyone on this site..

                    We should make a list of cars that came in single stage...

                    1. Mits evo ( Red )
                    2. Mits/dodge 3000gt/stealth ( Red Black)
                      3 lexus 2000 sc300? ( black)
                      4.honda civic 92-95 (red) (Black)
                    3. Ford F-150 92 style (red)
                      6.Toyota Camry 92ish (white)
                      7.Toyota Tercel (red)

                    Why does everybody brush their teeth before going to the dentist but never wash their car before bring it to me??

                        Do you know how long it takes to cut throught clear? You really have to try to do it.

                        Me, Jeremy and Kevin did an expirement with bc/cc fender that kevin painted. First off kevin keyed the fender through the clear and base coat. then me a jeremy took a buffer to it with a wool pad and 3000 rpm's. And it wouldnt cut through.

                        how long can you do that with a single stage?
