Got a guy who has a new gt that has swirls all over it!
Any idea how this paint is? Hard to correct?
 
I'm considering doing the wool pad with a compounding glaze. Of course ill start with hitting the concrete first lol with my wool pad!
 
Hey it's a Mustang. It'll all buff out. Nobody will every know. :props:
 
im doing a new 2011 black maxima as well ... what are these dealerships doing to these new cars when they send them out? ... swirls on a new car is nuts!!!!!!!!

anyway i just ordered some optimum compound II and surbuf pads ... my plan is to follow that with some m205/orange LC foam pad ...

glad to hear that ... i researched a bit, then bought it ... i used the meg 105 and a surbuf on half the hood, it worked great ... im just trying to avoid using the 105 - i absolutely hate it! ... prob the 20th time ive posted that ... it works great, but it wears me out .........
 
There's s dealership right outside of my subdivision and I saw some guys washing them one day. The pressure wash the dry prob once a week or so.
 
yea I dont know if the 11 is same as the 10 paint wise..but my black paint is SUPER soft. I am able to remove some decent swirls and scratches in my paint with just a HT Tangerine pad and 85RD...test out something light first and see how it does..the real pain is getting it micromarring free cause its so soft. I use Crimson HT pad and either 85RD or Sonax Nano paint Cleaner as a final polish

Try some meg's Ultimate compound instead of the m105. I haven't used the m105 but I've seen the ultimate compound give good results on badly swirled paint when applied with a polishing pad like meg's or a LC white. As part of the consumer line it's easy to use and works pretty good by hand also.

P.S.: I recently got an '11 mustang gt also so I know you are enjoying it.

When I ordered my new Camaro...part of the deal was that the dealer never touches the paint. I picked it up filthy, but that was fine by me. Best advice I could give.

I have an 11GT. No wool pad/Surbuf needed. A polishing pad and M205 will take care of most of the swirls. You might need a light cutting pad and M105 at most. The paint corrrects very easily on these cars. They swirl back up if you look too hard at them.

Umm I'm not sure but I had a hell of a time with this car today. I used everything from ultra cut to some of my stronger polish. The firmest pad I used was a telling compressor pad....I have a real hard time pulling the wool pad out. Maybe I need to try the m105 out and get some new pads.

Any other suggestions?...maybe ill use a wool pad.

Try 105 and a Surbuf pad before reaching for the wool

Work in small areas and when the product (105) flashes, sqirt the area with water and continue polishing

That's what I thought I was kinda just being smart with flash talkin bout flashin and all lol
 
LOL man, I think I'm too tired because I didn't even catch that until now :laughing:

Will detail for coffee! Im the MAN
 
I stopped by my local ford dealer yesterday to have the gas tank strap recall done on my 2002 Lightning, and while I waited I wandered the car lot. Kind of a foggy and dewy morning and they had a couple independent contractor types going from vehicle yo vehicle wiping them down with a big wet rag.

That's how the dealer installed swirls are done! It was hard to watch.
