Hello,
I have a 08' Infinti FX35 (Black) and 07 Acura MDS (Black). Cars have some thin moderate scratches and a couple of areas on the FX35 have thick scratches that don’t go through the paint all the way. Other than that the paint it pretty good.
So I stopped by the local detail shop and the guy sold me some products and a PC DA (with a backing plate the measures 4.75 inches). Not sure if I got the products I should have. I bought the following:
1 - Clay
2 - 1Z Einszett Paint Polish Lack-Politur
3 - Megs Professional Speed Glaze #80
4 - 1Z Einszett Polish Wax
Pads don’t have company names on them but he said they were for polish, glaze, and applying wax (6.5 inch) – one for each.
I have a few questions – I’m willing to take a loss on some of this stuff if I need to – just want to have the correct products and be doing it right.
QUESTON #1: Is the list above the correct order to use the products?
1z polish page says (http://www.autogeek.net/1z-einszett-paint-polish.html) - contains no harsh abrasives so there is no risk of micro-marring. And Megs Glaze #80 page says (http://www.autogeek.net/mg80.html) - Speed Glaze has a cut of 4 on Meguiar’s scale of 1 to 10. With a light cutting foam pad on a polisher or an applicator pad, Speed Glaze has enough cutting power to smooth out light swirls and oxidation, and improve the appearance of moderate blemishes. ------So I'm left thinking that maybe the Megs Glaze #80 goes on before 1z Polish since the #80 has abrasives and the 1Z Polish does not? Also the compound cut chart page says (http://www.auto-geek.net/charts/wax-cut-chart-master.htm) that the 1z Polish is more aggressive than Megs Glaze #80. ------So I'm left thinking Megs Glaze #80 goes on after the 1Z Polish. What do you think - which one goes on first...? Are they compatiable?
Question #2: Can you recommend pads for these three compounds? I've paired them up as follows:
1Z Einszett Paint Polish Lack-Politur (LC 5.5" White Pad)
Megs Professional Speed Glaze #80 (LC 5.5" Blue Pad)
1Z Einszett Polish Wax (LC 5.5" Red Pad)
Question #3: As far as scratches that aren't too deep but significant....I plan on buying some products off this site and after reading up it appears I should use the following after claying but before the Polish/Glaze/Wax:
Megs 105 (LC 5.5" Orange Pad)
Megs 205 (LC 5.5" White Pad)
Hope that's not too much to take in....thanks for your help!
