Well lads
I'm new to this so just looking for some advise please.
I recently got my championship white ek9 resprayed, when I got it back there was small defects in the paint so I took it upon myself to fix it, I wanted the best finish possible.
I fully wet sanded the car first.
Then I decided to go with menzerna products to polish the paint back up.
I started with menzerna fg400, then 3500 then 3800. I tried one panel first. I used an orange lake country pad with 400, a white pad with 3500 then a blue pad with 3800. I'm using a da. I wasn't 100% satisfied with the finish i thaught it would be more glossy. Maybe I need to use something in between, 2500 maybe? Am I using the right pads??
I've heard a lot about 4500 also so I think I'm going to finish on that, on a black pad maybe?
And then I'm going to finish with a sealent and carnubla wax.
So what I'm looking for on here is for someone to guide me on which polishes I should use with what pads? To remove sanding marks and bring up the best possible shine I can achieve using a da.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
