What to buy?

Thanks Kings! Post some pics when your finished I'd like to see how it turns out with the 105/205.
 
i dont know if anybody informed you but if the white is single stage paint it will be a little harder to correct then the other cars you have. white single stage is made with titanium dioxide pigments which render this paint very hard. so you will need to adjust your method on the white. a tip for the all the vehicles is: wipe the vehicle down with a 10% isopropyl alcohol+ water mix or use car pro eraser to make sure after you polish, you're polishes are not hiding any defects you could remove :) good luck with your projects and cant wait to see before and after shots!.
p.s i would go with the 105/205 combo been hearing great things
 
I will post some pics once I'm done. My items should arrive some time next week so depending on my schedule, it may take a few weeks. Several people have mentioned that preparations is everything. Thanks for the info opie_7afe. The White vehicle is actually in ok shape so I decided to try Wolfgang swirl remover on it. My blue car is in bad shape so I'll use 105/205 because its a bit more aggressive in removing blemishes. Although several people have mentioned that it has a bit of a learning curve. Can I get away with one pad using 105 or do I need at least a couple? Thx!

I understand your logic. Remember to use the least aggressive combo first and do a test spot. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...se-least-aggressive-product-get-job-done.html I'd try the WG first on the blue car, it may surprise you? As far as 105, I would only use one pad ( pad cut level ie: Orange ) then step down to 205 and a lighter pad to finish. I think what you will find is that the 105 will give you some hazing that you will need to clean up with maybe white pad and 205. That is the learning curve with the Meg products, as long as they don,t dry out and dust they will just keep cutting until you stop. The WG products use a diminishing abrasive that breaks down as you use it lessening the cut as you use it. Learning the point to stop before it's dry and when to keep going to get the correction you want. Hope this helps a bit!:buffing:
 
Thanks for the info Buckskincolt. That's a big help.:xyxthumbs:
 
  • Here's are the pictures. I used 105/205 on both vehicles. The blue car does need a bit more work but I'm happy with the results so far. I will try to work on it again next week and see if I can make some improvements on a few stubborn spots. My wife's truck came out really good and she's very happy with the results. Its my first time doing this so I'm sure I will get better at it. 105 definitely has a learning curve but I'm looking forward to working with it again. Thanks to everyone that took the time to help me out.

BTW if you ever use Klasse High Gloss this is the time of year to apply it. I just got some on BOGO and it's a pain to get off when it's hot or humid out. So Fall or early Spring is the best time to get it on and off easily. :)
 
Don't worry about different lsp for different colors IMO. Get one that has excellent clarity and ease of use.... Polish the paint to a high gloss and apply that lsp.

Unless of course you want different lsp for fun. Hey, we can't help it right?

Enjoy
