    I want to make sure I understand correctly......

    So, "refinish restorer" is bad on the half moon after applying the "showroom new", but Showroom New applied to the half moon withOUT any additional restoring products is ok?

    Correct, I used SN on the half moon, came out beautiful, no streaks at all cuz it's a small area and you can apply it easily in continuous strokes. ....and just to muddy it up a bit..I left the R/R on my half moon and didn't blast it off with the pressure washer...and the SN went on and soaked in apparently just fine.

    DId you start on it yesterday?

    (Those white streaks at the top of the moon are just in the picture, think it was snow.

    No. Planning on doing it on Saturday if it arrives by then.

    RR and Showroom New do not play well together. The solvents in RR tended to lift the dye off and cause streaking. So I let the RR dry fully then reapplied the Showroom New to fix the streaks without problem.
