Black Corvette ZR1 Vs The Boss System Review

You mentioned the Boss foam pad didn't give you the correction/cut you needed and the MF did, which Boss foam pad was it?
 
Awesome. I too love my boss lineup and G21. I recently purchased the microfiber cutting pads and fell in love like you did. They are a great addition to the lineup!

Great job

He never said it was a B.O.S.S. foam pad. But I would be interested in know which pad he did try with the FG400 that did not correct well enough

I first tried fg400, and lake country orange light cutting pad, as that combo finishes nice and not to agressive. I got results, but would have to do far too many passes.

I then tried to see if i can get away from being too agressive so i tried the correcting pad with Fast correcting cream, I got better results but the paint was just so bad, and I didn't want to create excess heat.

I knew to just jump to micro-fiber then, this car is made of carbon fiber and fiberglass, I didn't want to do more passes then I had too.

The micro-fiber cutting pad and fast correcting cream leveled pretty much every defect possible in one section pass, and that's what I was looking for.

If I use foam for cutting, I try to see if I can get away with a medium grade foam pad, like the correcting pad or lake country orange pad. As I see a payoff of a better finish, witch means less time polishing.

If those arent doing It 9 times out of 10 I just use microfiber, as you just have to pretty much manage the fibers clean them and blow then out with the compressor, as with foam you need more pads as they get softer and more spent with product.

So if I'm doing serious serious work, I like just getting it done and leveling, sure the foam pad can do it, but why do that in 2-3 section passes and create more heat, when I can do it with 1 section pass.

I probably would of got great results with the fast correcting pad, but it wouldn't of leveled the paint as fast as the micro-fiber pad.

This car was really really really bad.

If you haven't tried the micro-fiber cutting pad go for it, that and fast correcting cream are the real deal.
 
Sorry just assumed it was the Boss pad as you were reviewing the Boss system and was surprised the white fast cutting boss wasn't doing it as I have gotten amazing results with the Boss pads on my Rupes. I'm so impressed with the Boss pads I'm going to order more.
 
I had to go back and read it again to make sure it wasn't the B.O.S.S. pad. The limit time I have used this system it seems that the White Pad Fast Correction pad corrects as well as the MF Fast Correcting pad. Just not as fast and it finishes better

I never tried the white fast cutting pad, I tried the orange correcting pad, with Fast correcting cream.

Then I jumped to the microfiber pad, this paint was really bad and neglected, I needed the most correcting power as possible.

I just tested with the lighter foam pads to see if it was soft. It wasnt, it was hard black corvette gm paint.

As well as being carbon fiber and fiberglass!

I love the entire boss system, it is user friendly and everything works as it should.

I am a huge fan of the white correcting pad. IMO i don't really care for the rupes foam cutting pads, on a flat surface with no curves they work good, I am not really the best at working with then maybe in just not comfortable or what I'm used too.

I am a huge fan of the rupes Yellow pad and white pad tho I use those almost every other correction.

I like the green one too.

However I do prefer the Boss cutting pads
 
Thanks for the new update on this system. Just what I needed to learn! its upsetting to me that people let a car that nice go to #### like that. You brought back its life! Well done
 
Joe-NextLevel......ONE section pass to get those results?

That's one section pass according to Mike Phillips.

I don't understand how you leveled that much from 1 section pass, especially on hard paint.

Fast correcting cream isn't like 105 where it dries out, it's not working the panel for a few passes, it has a really long working time, and it continues to cut as well.

The photo you see where the tape line is sideways the 50/50 that was one section pass.

But the section pass is not just your 5-6 normal passes, I work much longer.

If you never tried fast cream give it a shot.
 
And I think I get what your saying,

If you think that's all I did no, once you do that north south east west, you do that about 5-10 times, depending on panel, and that's what I meant by my "complete section pass" for lack of a better word, I did that in one buffing cycle, with around 6-10 section passes.

not just going over it once. I worked the panel for a long time thanks to the long buffing cycle.

Sorry for the confusion.

What category do the Boss Creams "sub micro abrasives" fall into? SMAT or DAT?

And you did that up to 10 times? Man that sounds like alot of work!😯

There's SMAT and dat abrasives in it, from my understsranding.

And if you think I did it 10 times, as in working the polish for 3-5 mins wipe off and do it again no.

I did that in one buffing cycle, with a total of around 6-10 section passes depending on panel, and how bad it was.

So I did it in one complete section passes

Yea that's what I meant, left, right, left, right. Up, down, up, down... 5x each per section. That sounds like alot of work IMO.
I'm used to left, right, left, right. Up, down, up, down. Left, right, left, right. And then results🌟
 
Wait, I just realized this thread is about a Corvette.. Nvmd.

There will always be results, this car was just really that bad, I also like to work the polish long cause you can.

I like to do things in one cycle that way I use less polish, and don't have to go back.

Every car is different and and alot of variables come into play.

It also was hard paint, and really bad so it didn't help matters lol
 
Hi Joe, I just read the thread from start to finish. Great work👍🏽
Hope the owner keeps it the way you left it for him😉

the hairs are longer then the LC and megs MF pad, but I noticed the Boss MF pad the hairs do not get matted down so easily there a bit thicker and tougher, and cut better IMO however do leave micro marring, witch is to be expected.

Couple questions about the Boss microfiber pads. As far as what you said about the expected micro marring... Is that expected with the Boss pads? Or were you referring to all 3 kinds of microfiber pads? [Boss, Meguiars, and LC]

How many Boss microfiber pads did you end up using for the 1st step across the whole car? And how many polishing pads?

Also, you said you used car wash + Megs APC to wash the car, do you mean you mixed both in the bucket? If so, what dilution do you use when you do that? Like how much straight APC do you put in the bucket?

TIA👋🏼
