I don't know if this belongs here, so if it doesn't, hopefully a mod will move it for me.
So I have a Ferrari SuperAmerica scheduled for Monday so I decided to try out some new correction combos that I haven't had the chance to so far. My background is in yacht detailing so needless to say I'm pretty good with a rotary, so I have always used one for major corrections.
I recently ordered some 5.5" Surbufs to experiment with and decided to throw them on my Griot's to tackle one of my project cars. It hasn't seen wax in probably 5-6 years. The car is a 2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS that's in terrible condition...so bad that I thought there was no chance of restoring it.
Process was simply as follows:
M105 on 5.5" surbuf via Griot's (not primed in any way, just applied to pad then worked on speed 5-6 for 2 section passes)
M205 on 5.5" LC White via Griots (primed and worked on speed 5-6 using my own variation of the KBM, BBM for 2 section passes)
no LSP was used, I had to make it back to watch the game.. :getdown
Immediately after the m105 on the surbuf I was blown away by the results. It was just as if I used a rotary and yellow.
I am having issues with my SLR camera so all I could take photos with was a cellphone but you get the idea.
Here are the photos, its hard to see the true level of correction but there are zero swirls or blemishes left over. Quite impressed!<br><br>This is what I have to work with. Every defect you can imagine. Everything that didn't look like this was ridden with swirls, RIDS and all the rest : (
