I corrected and polished my 96 SVT Cobra using the Meg's DA MF System. I then used Optima UPG+ as an LSP. For my first time it looked pretty good. I've since washed it 2x, dryed with leaf blower and detailed with Optima UD+. I was prepping it for a show this weekend and while detailing it with a fresh MF cloth I noticed very fine straight line scratches in the hood in very bright sun. That upset me. In general you don't see it, but it's a weekend car, only been corrected a little over a month. Am I driving myself nuts or is this par for the course with certain gloss black cars?
Follow up, if there is a way to not have this happen should I be able to correct these with just polish and not have to compound again?
My LSP was 2 coats of UPG+. Would it help to top that with Collonite 845 which was my original intent? I only corrected the top 1/3 of the car so far. The hood, roof, trunk, pillars, and tops of the quarters. I hope to visit Tuscarora Dave someday and learn how to do it right.
Thanks, Spiney-Dave
