Griots BOSS Pads - Orange vs. Yellow

noorth said:
Your going to spend 25 plus hours to get 3 mths of crappy protection. I cringe thinking about.

If you want to use an AIO use carpro essence and followed that up with IGL primer. Speed and colly would not hold a candle to that combo. Both products are very easy to use to.

Colly 845 is outdated.

I'm not opposed to some sort of ceramic coating. I've been out of the detail scene for years, but I remember they used to be a real pain to apply. I know the newer stuff is a lot easier, I guess I am just a little overwhelmed by it all. Everyone has their own opinion. CarPro Essence isn't really a polish for paint correction?

If I could use a polish I already have (which would save me some money) and then order something like CanCoat or IGL Primer, I would consider that. They are considerably more expensive and keep in mind I do need enough product to coat an entire airplane, which is probably at least twice the surface area of an SUV. That gets expensive very quickly.

I actually have some McKee's Paint Coating I bought a few years back, but there is no way that tiny bottle is covering an entire airplane.
 
IGL is a water based spray sealant, its easy to use. There are many others. Its a lot faster to use then colly 845. I think sonax pns is better then 845. Doesn't get more easy then sonax PNS, good stuff, i still have a tiny bit left lol

Spend more time polishing then applying a layer of tricky to use colly for no gain unless its money.

Could I polish with something like Megs M205 and then top it off with that spray sealant?

Thanks for the feedback. I have some white and orange BOSS pads and was planning to order some more of both. I suppose I could order some yellow pads as well. The problem is I need a lot of pads (this will be for an airplane) and I’m trying to cut cost and steps where I can. I would like to have at least 10+ pads.

Maybe I ought to go with orange and yellow pads instead of white. Tough to say until I lay eyes on the paint.

I have boss yellow and orange for my g15. Yellow finished down find and orange cut through the deep stuff on my shadow black ford paint.


Unless you need major correction I think orangecand yellow way to go.

Will the plane be outside or housed in a hanger?

That will help narrow down options.

Yes.. you could but I still think products that are sun friendly would be ideal. I assuming you will be outdoor unless you are working in the hanger.

3D Speed top with 303 Graphene coating will brighten the paint tremendously and gives you pretty good durability (up to 12 months) plus.... fairly easy application.

But i just don't understand how your going to put a lot of work in polishing a plane of all things and you want to cheap out on polishes and protection?

It will be hangared and all the work will be done in a hangar. Heck if I can do 3D Speed and top with that Graphene spray that sounds like a good way to go. Or any spray sealant for that matter that will work with Speed. Especially since I already purchased some 3D Speed!

I just stated that I could do Megs M205 and top it off with the spray you recommended. I have Menzerna 3500 as well, although that may or may not be aggressive enough

Been using it on over a dozen vehicles since it came out. For the cost and ease of application...it is hard to beat. Even if durability is half of what they claimed (12 months) ... it is on par with majority of the sealant on the market.

Saw a few of the vehicles that I had applied 303 Graphene. The maintenance wash was super easy. Water behavior was pretty similar to a traditional SI02 coating. A rinse with a power washer did a quick work on getting all the dirt off before the contact wash.
 
CC268---

I think you already have a solid plan.

Orange pads
Speed

With that you'll be good for 3 months and if hangared, will get couple more months before speed wears off.

After 3 or 4 months, you can either machine down some sealant or spray on some sealant, wax or even a ceramic spray.

Don't need to rush the second step---you got some wiggle room there to decide what you want as your LSP.

The plane will fly the same with or without the LSP! Smile.

Thanks. LOL. That simplifies my life. I'm gonna order some more orange pads and call it a day. Already got a new bottle of Speed.
 
LOL...you're all set!

Let us know how it all went down for you!
