Hello everyone, well I had been having trouble removing the swirls from my spoiler as some of you might know. The spoiler's clear coat is a lot harder from the rest of the car, to keep it more sturdy it is painted that way. I tried going very agressive with just FG400 and a heavy cutting pad on my Rupes and not one swirl nudged.
In the first part of the video, it was a test spot to see if just Rotary, wool pad and FG400 would do any swirl removing and the swirls didn't budge so that is why I decided to wet sand.
I took it to Meguiar's and they used M100 and Meg's Xtra cut MF pad and did a decent job but it still had a good number of swirls left.
So I decided to wet sand with 1500 then 3000 and buff it out with FG400 on my Rotary using a Tufbuf wool pad. I then was able to remove the swirls, I still have to Polish and do a final polish on my paint. I then will Opti Coat it to finally remove the swirls.
I wasn't planning on doing this today but my cousin was over and we decided to go to work on my spoiler while we waited for other things we had to do today.
Here is the video everyone!
also since I wasn't planning on making a video the camera was just hand held and we worked with what he had. (Photography wise) this is just a rough draft and will be shooting the rest of the process soon.
Enjoy...
