I thought I would play with my new bottle of CarPro Fixer Polish on my very soft,black paint,TransAm tonight.
The paint looks great from 3' away:
But using the camera flash,you can see some water spotting and light swirls/scratches:
For this little test I'm doing,I'm using my GTechniq self centering Polishing Pad:
And the Fixer:
For the Fixer,you don't need a healthy line of product for pick-up.No priming is needed either.I used (4) pea sized drops to get started:
I started spreading the Fixer using my PE14-2-150 on setting #1(600rpm's):
After the product was ready for polishing,I bumped the PE up to setting #4(1500rpm's):
3 section passes was all that was needed to work the product in.I experienced absolutely NO dusting.
I then grabbed one of my trusty SilverSurfer edgeless to remove any remaining polishing residue.Here is what I was rewarded with after wiping(with camera flash):
A lil' closer:
The Fixer Polish is advertised as using no fillers but since I wanted a true visual of what I had after polishing and because I was going to use a coating as my LSP,I sprayed the corrected section with CarPro's Eraser:
I wiped down the section from it's applied Eraser and this is what was left:
And real close:
Time to put a coat of OC2.0(NewVersion)on.I use the CarPro foam block and their blue suede MF to apply the OC2.0:
A couple of drops and a straight line dispense on the MF to spread across half the hood:
Starting the coating process:
After flashing,no high spots and it laid down and dried without a hitch:
Ewww Weee:
I'll keep on it in-between details to finish the rest of the TransAm but I had a great time using/trying the Fixer.It finished flawless for me using a white pad a couple of section passes(on this vehicle).I was actually surprised I had (0) marring.
Also the New Version of OC2.0 is so darn user friendly,a caveman can do it
