Polishing technique

Ok thanks for your help.
So with M105 and Purple Foam Wool Pad should I be set? and what should be the next step after the M105?
 
You can then use SIP follow by 106FA then final polish with 85RD. Don't forget IPA wipedown after each step..
 
So let make it clear:
Purple Foam Wool Pad/M105
Orange/SIP
White/Nano
Blue/85rd
That would be really long work to do.
 
Does 85rd really worth the shot or should I finish with the Nano since I dont have either M105 and 85rd and need to order them soon.
 
Yes, you can finish with nano if you don't have 85rd. But 85rd will bring out that final piece of the puzzle for you and the finish is going to looks awesome!
 
ok well taken I will order the M105 and 85rd. I should not have order last time the Menzerna Finishing Glaze since I dont know what to do with that.

Try using the glaze after polishing and before LSP, who knows you might like it.
 
This thread is full of great info.

And on the topic of breaking down SIP and Nano, SIP won't really dust when broken down correct? And with a PC it takes approximately 4 minutes to break down? I just work it up and down, left and right, 2 or 3 times and take my time. When I wipe it off it comes off easily and doesn't take any pressure to get it off, so I assume that means it is broken down?

And I can't wait to get permission for a second order, I think 85rd and a 3 pack of blue pads will be in my future. I am amazed at the finish on my cars with Nano white, followed my WG PPE White. So no telling how they will look with 85rd and Blue.

Keep this thread going. Again, awesome wealth of information for us newbies.
 
that is what i noticed. i was working in a garage with a propane heater (I thing I got CO poisoning) that was about 65* and it was taking about two trips back and forth and two trips up and down moving about 1"/second and then I started to see very very light dust and i stopped immediately.

With the blue pad and nano, which is where I am at right now, it takes a bit longer for it to break down.

I am still learning as you can tell.

You will not know until you try it. Once you have the wool just throw away that piece of s*** orange pad.

It should dust up on you, and on a PC it should take about 5-6 min's per pass

Its made to be bodyshop safe, the only two products I use from m that are worth anything is the Extra-cut, and the Ultrafina. The rest of their stuff fills. Those two offerings from 3M are great products.

body shops arnt necessarly the best at detailing cars....if you want your car to look its best, you dont take it to a body shop to have them polish it out, you take it to a detail specialist or you learn how to do it yourself...

what i am trying to say, is that they dont know what detail products are best and what arent...they just know what they need to get their job done which isnt necessarly the same as the job you want to get done....
