That's a harbor freight polisher isn't it?Well this goes back to last night after dinner actually:
Sprayed the entire car down with DUB wheel cleaner and let it dwell and then....NOTHING, no bleeding out, LOL. I then rinsed off the product and then paint began to bead like crazyI then foamed the car with TW Ice Snow Foam and let it dwell. While that was going on I cleaned the tires and wheels with Brake Buster and scrubbed with my usual 4 brushes, also sprayed Alien Kleen in the wells, rinsed everything down and the beading was crazy still, LOL. I then wiped down the car with a mix of Griot's Garage paint prep/N914 and wiped off, left the paint squeaky clean, time to polish.
Since the paint was in really good shape I decided to use a very old, trusty friend...Meg's M101, a bit overkill for my paint but this stuff is old and wanted to use it. I used a LC dimpled orange pad and set my GG6 to speed setting #4, 2 section passes and it was good to go...until the original, 8 yr old backing plate exploded, I managed to pull the machine away and turn it off before it damaged my car. At this point I had to finish the car with my GG3 and yellow Foam pad, took quite a while and the pad filled up quickly with product, so I was brushing out the pad after every sectionAt this point I decided to put some Alien Kleen/water into an available IK 1.5L foamer and sprayed down the entire car, let dwell and rinsed away. At this point there was no beading, ofcourse, so I dried the car off and called it a night...or should I say morning, it was 1:30 a.m.
After 4 hrs of sleep I woke up, made my self some pancakes and sausage and got back after it. Headed down to the car with TAC system Power Plus ceramic coating and Rain Coat glass coating from TAC. I actually began by spraying a coat of Sonax Rim Shield before I got started, another one when I was done with the car. The coating went on great, did small sections at a time and flipped the suede towel over once halfway through, the gloss was really showing itself, so I can't wait to see it outside tomorrow after the 24 hr cure time inside, down in the Garage. The Rain Coat glass coating went on and off equally well. I finished by applying a coat of Hydrosikex Slick to the tires. Oh yeah, speaking of the tires, 1 tire was browned from the Optimum tire coating previously on there...from last year, LOL. This product is great but finicky for sure, I'm just going to wait till I get new tires and start using it fresh from the start. I even wiped them down with mineral spirits and all but that 1 tire was browned, kind sucks
After this I soaked in the tub and now I'm about to enjoy some Gino's East pizza and relax
