Hi geeks,
It's been a while. Just wanna share a recent job that I did in the weekend. Object is Honda Civic for its infamous soft paint. aaaand it's black. The car came for a one day detail. The owner bought this from the second hand dealer, so I thought the condition was not entirely bad, just need some polishing. It was indeed not bad, but the 'softness' made me do a two step correction and turned into a two days detail
The initial condition was swirls and scratches that I thought can be polished in one go with MF cutting pad and some finishing polish. here is the steps that i tried:
1. Optimum MF polishing pad + CG V38 (slight marring and sticky)
2. LC white polishing pad + CG V38 (not enough cut)
3. LC black finishing pad + CG V36 (slight marring and not enough cut)
4. LC black finishing pad + CG V38 (not enough cut)
so i decided to two step that paint with:
1. LC Orange cutting pad + megs 105 (slight haze+hologram)
2. LC black finishing pad + CG V38 (perfect
rops
well some deeper scratches remain.
the rest of the ammo:
- CG Citrus Wash and Gloss (for pre rinsing, two buckets method and stripping polish)
- CG All Clean+
- ONR Wash and Wax
- Clay towel
- Rupes 15
- Dewalt 849x
LSP (next day):
- Artdespiros5 1 layer
- Artdespiros3 1 layer
- Artdesicko 1 layer
pics time!
just after polishing.
final result of 3 layers of coating.
Thanks for checking out!
