Hey everyone. So I just picked up a new truck last week and it’s got swirls all over it. Started working on it this morning.
I’m definitely no expert at paint correction but I had a black F150 before this truck and I’ve done a couple corrections on it.
So I knew it was going to be a 2 step process. I have some 3D One left over and also a bottle of Rupes Uno Finish Polish (which I really like) but I wanted to try something new. Guy at the local detail shop took a look at my truck and recommended I try a Meguires Microfiber combo. It included some cutting pads, finishing pads, D300 compound and finishing wax. I knew I wasn’t gonna use the finishing wax but I got it anyway.
I started with the D300 test spot and wasn’t thrilled with the results. I knew that the likelihood of a cutting compound getting me results in 1 step ( like dude told me it would) was very low. The D300 left a lot to be desired and left some marring behind also. I followed it up with the Rupes Uno and it came out “ok”.
Are my expectations set too high? Is it possible to get heavily swirled and spider webbed black paint back to 100% correct? I used a Griots G9 with the microfiber pad and then a 3D finishing pad with the Rupes. These are the results:
