Had to strip my 2006 Mazda MX5 (Miata) paint down due to an unfortunate experiment gone wrong. I tried to apply Collinite 915 over Pinnacle Souveran and it streaked and clouded like a mother. Since this vehicle is a daily driver and exposed to the elements 24/7 I decided to try a sealant as an LSP.
Process: Washed paint, wheel wells and wheels with P21S Total Auto Wash. Dried with Cobra waffle weave towels.
Dressed wheel wells with ##'s Bare Bones.
No claying or machine buffing, did both a couple months ago with Meguiars 205 on white and then red Kompressor pads with Flex 3401.
Hand polished with old Zaino cotton applicator using Duragloss 501 Marine & RV Polish.
Sealed with Duragloss 111 Wet Look Clear Coat Polish applied with microfiber applicator.
Here is a picture of the paint from when I purchased to car used in November, 2008.
A few pictures sporting Duragloss 111.
Here is as close to a sunshot as I can get. The paint is not perfect with several dents and scratches, but it still looks pretty good.
Just to show what a product that can be picked up over the counter ( or from AG) looks like with adequate prep.
Enjoy,
Sludge
