misterp Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Now I found this truly impressive. BEFORE - this is a clean fender, washed with Dawn detergent and cleaned with body clay. In the reflection of the halogen light you can see a lot of micro-scratches (spider-webbing, caused by washing/drying with common wash cloth or sponge in circular motion), and a couple long heavy scratches (caused by washing with a dirty wash cloth or sponge). You would never see these in the sunlight but under a halogen or flourescent light the real condition of the paint is very clear: 4-MINUTES LATER - Using a D/A polisher, foam pad, and 3M Finesse-It polishing compound took all the spider-webbing out and almost all the heavy scratches too - man just look at the difference. what you see in the fender is the reflection of a shop bench 3-ft from the truck, the pegboard and wrenches are 5-feet from the truck ... GLAZING - Using a D/A polisher, foam finishing pad, and 3M Hand Glaze on slow speed brought up a mirror shine, but my camera cannot really show the difference Mr. P.

misterp Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Nice looking finish...Did you use a finish or cutting pad??? I'll call it a 'medium' pad, not a finishing pad but not a truly aggressive cutting pad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of foam pads, but Im thinking I'll try on my black truck, then use the zaino system from there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
