**** DISCLAIMER: I was not going for perfection ****
Reflect arrived early last week and waiting patiently on my detail shelf to be tested out. The test subject was a Black Toyota RAV4 with some heavy swirls & scratches.
Here is a picture of how every paint panel looked on the RAV4.
To start I used a green polishing pad with CarPro Fixer(Thanks mjlinane for the Fixer!). 4-5 drops were placed on the pad with my Griots. The Fixer was applied for a total of 4 passes and released pressure on the last 2 passes.
I did place a blue tape line down. The pad was cleaned after the first section and I placed 2 or 3 small dots of Fixer and repeated the above process on the right hand side of the tape before using Reflect.
I was blown away by the Fixer results(first time using Fixer). On the right hand side of the tape I wanted to see if I could up the Reflection with the Reflect polish.
The Black finishing pad was primed with a small X. The Reflect was applied with 4 passes and released pressure on the last 2 passes.
Note: I transferred the Reflect polish into a new CarPro bottle. This allows compounds/polishes to be applied to pads very fine and controlled.
This photo was shown for anyone wondering how to much to use on the next section. Clean your pad after each section of using Reflect. Two small pea drop sizes for next section.
Wow! The results of Fixer on the left side alone were amazing. The Reflect on the right side also looked amazing. I could not tell a difference from a few feet away of either side. Time to pull out the brink man LED and see if there is a difference.
Fixer - close up photo shows some deeper scratches and very fine scratches and haze.
Reflect - close up photo shows the fine scratches and haze removed.
The rest of the hood was compounded and polished with Fixer & Reflect. Reflection shot of Reflect on the hood outside!
Fixer & Reflect did an amazing job. At first I didn't think I needed Reflect but under the LED light it was easy to see what Reflect could do.
Thanks for viewing!
