For anyone with a dark colored car, one technique that I have found produces excellent results is layering Dodo Blue Velvet hard wax with Dodo Purple Haze. Just an amazing, deep, wet shine with amazing beading.
did you top blue velvet with purple haze, or purple haze with blue velvet? By the way, it does looks amazing!!!
wow ... its really look great ... I think most car do have the orange peel rite? even a new car lol ... i dont know why ...
All cars do, unless it has been wet-sanded and buffed which is what is done to show cars. But when show cars are painted they put down another layer or two of clear as they know they will be sanding to get rid of orange peal so they do not have to worry about going through clear. Orange peal is due to the paint technique, you can minimize it alot but no it is due to solvent evaporation faster in some particles than others. You technically could paint and not have orange peal but it is very rare and difficult to do. Great looking car through, laying dodo does give some great results, hard wax and top it with the complementing soft wax always seems to net great results.
Least aggressive first and foremost. 500 grit is to aggressive to start. Post pics of what you are sanding and let others help surmise your situation. By the way, thanks for posting pics of this method of this line of product, will help in selecting what to use when i take the Dodo plunge.
Here is the only picture that I have up online somewhere and I am too lazy right now to go upload a better angle and picture. You get the idea. It still looks good and I keep it up for the most part. I think this picture is when I used Klasse AIO, which I hated.
