Polishing Paint

Gamedog said

@MrJLR - You're in Chino, right? My parents live in Norco, not too far from you. Let me know if you'd like me to take a look at your car before you start rollin' up the sleeves to see if I can identify any questionable areas. I plan to be up there the weekend of the Auto Club 400 (3/25 & 3/26).

Or if you'd rather post up some shots of any areas you might be worried about, we can all offer our help.

I have been detailing, paint correction and painting for quite a few years now. Gamedog has given you some very solid advice, as my polish of choice is always menzerna the 105 and 205 recommendations gamedog posted are right up there with the menzernas and they are more locally available. its hard to damage paint, single stage or 2k with an orbital, its all about starting with the lightest cut and pad you have and working your way to more aggressive until you find the winning combo to correct the marring.

if you want to absolutely fix your marring you will not use anything that says glaze. glaze is an oil bath that "hides" imperfections. they only last a few weeks, or 1 rain. then here come the imperfections back.

there is alot i could write but like i said gamedog has very similar process to mine. and most of it would be just repeating him.
if you are really interested in good products that work and seeing how to's i would suggest you go to autopia.org join the forums. you will learn alot there.

paint correction is a process that takes practice, dont expect to get it right the first time. but once you do, you will be grinning. LOL
