I'm going to do my first paint correction soon, since the warm weather is almost here. I'd appreciate input on product selection i.e. what's a compromise between ease of use and results. I want good results, but if a product is hard to use then it doesn't do me any good. Here's the breakdown:
Vehicle- 2013 Alpine White M3. It is a daily driver.
Paint Condition- Fair (scratches and swirls visible in the right lighting) but "good" under normal lighting..isn't that the case with white cars. I would post pics, can't get the damage to show. To quote "Bones" from Star Trek.."Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a photographer" :LOL:
Equipment- 7424XP and CG hex logic orange, white, black, red, blue pads x3
I'd appreciate input on the following:
1) product i.e. good for beginner. I'm considering WG vs. Menz, but open to anything
2) Pads- stick with Hex or LC Flat
3) Regimen- I was considering skipping the full correction on the lower panel, bumpers (since its a DD and they get the most wear) and using AIO instead...thoughts? Product recs?
4) Goal- I don't need a show stopper..it is a daily driver but I would like to get a good result i.e. a majority of scratches out.
5) IPA wipedown vs. Speedwipe?
I know I'm asking a lot, but I'd appreciate some experienced peoples opinions.
Thanks!
