Hello,
I'm new to detailing, have a 08' Infinti FX35 (Black) and 07 Acura MDS (Black). I have some questions regarding compounds/pads with the Porter DA. The cars' paint is in OK condition. I have the following products and plan on using them in this order:
1 - Clay
2 - 1Z Einszett Paint Polish Lack-Politur
3 - Megs Professional Speed Glaze #80
4 - 1Z Einszett Polish Wax
QUESTON #1: Is this a correct order to use these products?
1z polish page says (http://www.autogeek.net/1z-einszett-paint-polish.html) - contains no harsh abrasives so there is no risk of micro-marring. And Megs Glaze #80 page says (http://www.autogeek.net/mg80.html) - Speed Glaze has a cut of 4 on Meguiar’s scale of 1 to 10. With a light cutting foam pad on a polisher or an applicator pad, Speed Glaze has enough cutting power to smooth out light swirls and oxidation, and improve the appearance of moderate blemishes. ------So I'm left thinking that maybe the Megs Glaze #80 goes on before 1z Polish? Also the wax cut chart page says (http://www.auto-geek.net/charts/wax-cut-chart-master.htm) that the 1z Polish is more aggressive than Megs Glaze #80. ------So I'm left thinking Megs Glaze #80 goes on after the 1z Polish. What do you think - which one goes on first...?
Question #2: Can you recommend pads for these three compounds? I've paired them up as follows:
1Z Einszett Paint Polish Lack-Politur (LC 5" White Pad)
Megs Professional Speed Glaze #80 (LC 5" Blue Pad)
1Z Einszett Polish Wax (LC 5" Red Pad)
Question #3: As far as scratches that aren't too deep but significant....I plan on buying some products off this site and after reading up it appears I should use the following after claying:
Megs 105 (LC 5" Orange Pad)
Megs 205 (LC 5" White Pad)
Hope that's not too much to take in....thanks for your help!
