First B&A thread after waiting a few years, finally had a worthwhile restoration and time to show off. Or more of I finally have a DSLR to document details. 2008 Jerez Black M3 with dealer induced swirls. Thankfully only from the carwash and dealer neglect. Sun kept peaking in & out during the day but the cold didn't stop me from finishing this car before sundown. Initial D300/M105 cut really cut through 90% of the swirls, although some deeper scratches and swirls remained. Went with D300 + MF Finishing Disc just to see what would happen and got almost to 5% better although the finish was dramatic. Decided to PoliSeal it for the sake of the age of the paint. Still playing with the Meg's MF system, but I love it. All I need now is some 3 inch setups to address deep etching/marring in small areas. Process & Products: Wheels - Sonax Wheel Cleaner, Optimum Power Clean, various brushes. Sealed with OptiSeal / Tires – Power Clean & Optibond Wash – Foam bath with Poorboy’s SSS, Power Clean – Pre Wash. Clay – Yellow Clay for decontamination. Polish/Compound – D300 Correction Compound & M105 with Cutting MF Pad, D300 with Finishing MF Pad. Finish – Poliseal, Optiseal, Optimum Car Wax. Finish Kare 425 Wipedown. Interior – Optimum Protectant Plus Recommendations, comments, & tips for improvement welcome! Big question, does anyone have experience removing waterspots from shadowline trim? Polishing seemed to clear it slightly, but I'm dealing with etching by the looks of it. Located near the mirror/ A pillars. Before In process - light marring in some areas. After - right before the sun sets.
Awesome work. Now please submit the befores to this thread: http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/auto-bliss/32811-most-holograms-i-have-ever-seen.htm
Thanks, do grab one! They are so affordable for results you can get nowadays! Love to, good thing these were only dealer washing induced swirls from the patterns I was seeing. Thanks all for compliments!
DA, gotta love the MF system. I do like using rotaries, but have a ton of experience just playing with DAs.
