Default That's kind of like asking which chip, except there are only two choices. I like P21S GEPC second,

because it cleans up the mess that IHG leaves behind. That said, there are possible reasons that you would want to use P21S first.

Default I recently did IHG first then GEPC. I found that GEPC kicked up the depth a couple notches. So I

think if you did it the other way around, you might dull the appearance of GEPC, slightly.

The question is do you always need to use both? Probably not. My plan is to use IHG and GEPC twice a year, and then GEPC an additional 2 times in between.

Default The question is, what would it look like without using the IHG at all. Who's done this?

Is there really a difference between IHG -&gt; GEPC and not using IHG at all? I haven't done this...I don't use those products lately...but I would think anyone who's doing the two-step (in either order) would use each one without the other before comitting the time and energy to use both (in either order). Using One Grand Special Touch and then Omega Glaze, I see very distinct differences in what they accomplish. As I've said before, I think GEPC is a combination chemical cleaner and glaze (which is why you don't see P21S marketing either of those products separately), which makes me continue to wonder why IHG is even part of the equation for GEPC users, especially when the GEPC is probably removing/replacing most of what the IHG is laying down. HOWEVER, I'm the first to admit that actual experience trumps theory every time. So who has used GEPC (a) alone and (b) with IHG, and found that using IHG first actually yields <i>noticeably</i> better results than GEPC alone?
