Nice work Dave... I have a car that needs to be cleaned out of OP. Any last conclusions as to what happened to the pads to cause marring on the finish? I use Menz. PG a lot. I get hazy results with Orange and White CCS pads, or all LC pads for that matter. What simple step forward procedure...

Incredible and lucky for me..the work that is...lucky for me I wasn't there or I would have had to shoot the owner on general principle and would be locked-up right now.. Great work dude..

For some reason I missed these two images. Below the trunk after the job was done. and a restored headlight shot. The clear on the trunk had several spots where bird sh@% had chewed its way through. Regretfully not much I could do about that.. [/IMG]

Thanks guys. Sure thing, let me know when you post pic Mica Green is a beautiful thing.. BTW did you get any dark clear coat transfer like I did on your pads? DH

I would have gone on the trim with 'Black Again' but they rushed it out of my hands at the last minute,...Yes..LSU...Geaux Tigers...!!!

Here’s the save of the day.. A 2004 Black Lexus IS300 that had waterspots, overspray, swirls, scratches, holograms, chips and headlights that needed some work... Again, I put Menzerna polishes to the test. Procedure: After having prepped the outside: Menzerna SIP – LC White CCS Constant...

Well the input keeps coming in.. One thing I have to say is, I could have never even gotten close to accomplishing this if it wasn't for all the advise and help I have received through this forum and website..that is were the 'true' merit is due.. Thanks a lot everyone. DH

Yup, I know and my back knows it as well now,...I just wanted to try Menz. SIP, see how far it would go..Pads are larger than 6.5, I didn't have access to all my gear at the moment so I got down with what I had at hand.

I was curios about that myself..after examining the pad closer and by the color of the water that came from it when I was cleaning it. this was mostly a clear coat of grime..This happened only when I used the SIP at the beginning. Following passes with IP did not get the pad dirty at all.

This was the save of the day..somewhat back-breaking. The overall condition on this paint was horrible, it had such heavy swirls you could barely see the holograms, (there were many more pictures but something jammed my SIM card..thankfully I was able to get these out).. I decided to go...

WOw..I worked a black 03 Mistu Montero with some Mezerna IP to bring it back a bit, the owner was not concerned about a full paint recovery... Next I used a Red LC Pad on my Porter @ 1, applied an even coat throughout the paint. I let it sit for appx. 10 min.. It came off SO easy, left a...

Allright, many thanks for the advice. I will leave the PL alone, depending on the car and time I have. If I get a chance to hit it 12 - 24 hrs. after applying PL. I will let you guys know what it finally looked like..

After reviewing various posts and then some..I could not find a straight answer to my quesion, so here it goes. Should treat the cars I work on with Menzerna Power Lock, wait for it to haze, remove, wait a couple of hours and then apply a nuba wax or synthetic wax on top of it..? Basically...

I worked in a body shop for several months. To be honest your clear and any paint pigment is also gone. Clear is the armor against the elements, without it, the color fades, deteriorates and the coat becomes thiner until it hits the primer. Two basic approaches would be. 1. If you want it...

YOU CAN DO IT !!! Welcome.

Try a similar comb. as the one I used for the HHR. found here = http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/28416-can-paint-hood-saved.html. If you are still experimenting with the process and machines, avoid the Rotary and use only the DA or your dad will get a...

Dental floss..nice, never thought about that.

Might want to spray the DS tape that is still left over with WD40, let it work for a couple of minutes and rub the gunk off with your fingers. It won't ruin the material, just make sure to clean area well afterwards with a degreaser or nothing will ever stick on there again.

Well I followed a bit of everyones advise, mixed it all in and came up with.. - Flex Rotary @ 1200 rpm, several passes with LC orange pad and Mezerna PG. - Flex 3401 DA and white pad with Mezerna IP. - Flex 3401 DA and Black Pad with Mezerna FP. - Flex 3401 DA and Black Pad with FMJ. Results...

Yes, if you hold your sprayer only inches away from it, depending on the material its made, from you will have an issue. You have to hold it far if you re going to hit it with only a mist. And yes, the rule of thumb to be safe, is dampening a good microfiber, not rag. Then again, the best way is...
