    Can't get rid of all the scratches

    Hello again. I got a new Flexipads "Cutting" microfiber pad and made a new test spot. This time I choose to work on a rear fender, since it's easier to take better pictures from that angle. I've managed to remove almost all swirls and only RIDS remain. The paint color has improved a lot. This...

    Can't get rid of all the scratches

    You were right. It didn't made it any better than the HD Adapt. I will have to try a more cutting compound. I don't know if jump straight to the H8.02 or maybe try something lighter first, like the H7.01 or even F5.01. And regarding what Ronin47 said, I agree, but I don't think I'm dealing...

    Can't get rid of all the scratches

    Ok, I've been on my local shop today. I couldn't find what you all guys advised me to use. I ended up buying the Koch Chemie M2.01 "Hochglanz-Antihologramm-Politur" and a Flexipads Microfibre Pad "Finishing GRIP" for medium and hard paints. They've promised I would get awesome results on the...

    Thank you guys. Tomorrow I'll make a visit to my local detailing shop to see what I can find. I didn't think it would be a hard paint, but it is. About the scratches, pictures don't show exactly what's there. On the pictures you can see a few RIDS, but there are lots of them, and they don't...

    Hello guys. I'm working on my black 2008 e92 BMW. Using 3D HD Adapt and Lake Country orange 5.5" foam pads on a DA Porter Cable. After 4 rounds of 7 passes the paint shows great improvement, but a lot of scratches are still there. This is the trunk lid where I'm starting: It's hard to get...

    Pads left uncleaned for a long time

    Hello guys! First of all, please, don't judge me =O After my last detailing session on one of my own cars, I left all my pads uncleaned for a long long time. A long long time is 2 years. Why? I was on vacations, on a rented house by the lake, I had the time, I did the job and finished right...

    How to clean Meg's #80 from single stage before sealant?

    Thank you all for your help. Here are some pictures of the hood. As you can see, this car's paint has been really neglected by it's previous owner. It was very oxidized, had a lot of swirls and RIDS, and was very rough to the touch. I will have to repaint this car eventually, and I'm pretty...

    How to clean Meg's #80 from single stage before sealant?

    I think I will try Meguiar's # 21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0. It's quite expensive here but I don't seem to have lots of other options. It also does not have much durability. Some people say it lasts only 3 months. Will also get # 34 to do some cleaning for inspecting my results. Klasse looks...
