When this happened to me With my jet black BMW I tried remove the hazing with a orange light cutting foam pad and D301. It worked! I also tried with a soft polishing foam pad and it was even better. Tried Ultimate polish and 3M ultrafina and the soft foam polishing pad and the result was similar...

First make sure you have control of flow rate of your paint and atomizing air. Using smaller hole decreasis flow rate and to keep ratio you'll need to deacrease atomizing air. You can test on white surface first, the spray pattern should be homogen with no "rings" and round or elliptical...

I agree, to get show car finish you have to clean, correct and polish. What you decide to use as a sealant or wax is of minor importance for the shine. It can add some gloss and even fill out small scratches but it cannot alone do the trick. Use the same procedures as used on other colors here...

Yes on the hood as well as the rest of your cars external. Don't hold it to close and try to have at least a 45 degree angle if removing heavy dirt.

Used Meguiars Gold Class QD but since I use it quite often i decided to by M135 in gallon. Next time I think I'll go for Final touch instead (diluted 1:1). Didn't experience any big difference. And the hydrophobic properties is good enough in GCQD if applied often i.e. 1-3 times a week.

Today I tried UP with soft polishing pad and UW by hand. Left UW 20 min before I buffed it off, this together with the temperature being much cooler today helped with buffing the UW off without streaking.

When your kids almost tell their friends to not touch the entire side of the car when closing the doors

It's good, simple and informative. I would prefer the picture of you sitting in front of the car not to be switched. Maybe make it going across from left to right but cut the height. The reason is that I think It's too much to have two large images switching all the time.

Dishwashing detergent diluted and misted on the surface of the pad. Soft nail brush and then hot water. Do this process a couple of times and the pad will be clean but not dry

So in your opinion D302, Ultimate polish and M205 will do a better job than D301 with white or black foam pad as a final polishing step? I used D301 with MF finishing disc after D300 with cutting disc but this combo left some haze on jet black BMW. I couldn't see a difference between UP and D301...

On my BMW 5er jet black xDrive I found out that to remove the micro marring/hazing I had to add an extra polish step using D301 with black soft foam polishing pad. I don't know if I could've skipped D301 with MF finishing disc, maybe this would be a too big step to a soft foam pad? Maybe try...

Great job! Black is truly fantastic the very second you wipe of the final inspection, then the work starts all over again :-)

I use a combination of brush and air. But once the fibers begin to stick, cleaning needs to be done more often and finally needs to be changed. Especially the cutting disc when using more force to correct deeper scratches. Think it's the heat and force that makes the fibers stick. Maybe I use...

Minimum I charge for material such as pads and chemicals. You should not loose money on helping your friends. Time is one thing you could always be generous with. But to be able to help your next friend, at least you need fresh pads and polish.

Welcome!

Friend prices are friend prices so depends on how close friend he is. 100 sounds fair. Even if you use an AIO a mini van probably will take 6 h included breaks.

Tried different polishes And I think the solution for removing the hazing is finishing with a soft foam pad. Tried 3M Ultrafina, D301 and Ultimate polish with th soft pad that was included with the polisher and the hazing disappeared :-). So basically for my jet black paint on my new BMW I have...

I would try M105 with MF first. Slow passes and moderate pressure. I also used MF with D301 but I found out that on black paint I have to finish with soft pad and fine polish so now my process is: 1. Correction compound D300 and MF cutting disc. 2. Ultimate polish or D301 and MF finishing disc...

On my jet black -14 BMW I was left with som hazing after using the complete Microfiber system from Meguiar's. Tried 3M's Ultrafina with orange pad and the hazing disappeared. The system worked great on my parents Saab with blue metalic. But I will use foam pad after MF cutting with some...
