Someone WILL Win This CAR!!!

Riite, all todays work, Appologies for not getting any actually was pictures up, as it was absolutly belting it down when i was doing it and i didn;t want to gwt my cammera wet through..

But these are of just after the Snow foam, wash with two bucket method... and then just as i had finished it stopped raining, fortuntly so i could dry it off....








Full Car Prep, All bits of trim and windows that cannot be corrected at this stage: -





All Vehicle Was Fully Rubbed Down with Clay, This is to ensure the Surface is 100% decotaminated prior to Machine Polishing: -


Starting with just the Bonnet area, and the bottom half at that i started to measure the paint with the Depth Guage: -


As can be Seen the Reading is the Bigger Figure, and the little number in the corner is the difference between the lowest and highest Areas of the bonnet: -

what products are you using with the polisher?

[tom_mol69]

I always use Menzerna mate, a lot of people think it is very hard to use, and they do give off a lot of powder. But i think it more than gives the best finish, if machined in correctly

[bcstuning]

how do you get rid of swirl marks?

[tom_mol69]

In a nut shell.... Good wash, dry, clay bar, prep the area you want to polish, and then you have to machine polish in the correct manner, all depending on the area you are polishing, type of pad, machine and polish you are using. Or the easiest way is to pay me

[bcstuning]

yes i have a machine polisher mate. what product is best for the swirl marks?

[tom_mol69]

All depends on what car you have, if it has been re-sprayed, but try go for some sort of medium polish and a medium pad, then finish with a soft polish and soft pad. That should see you rite for most defects. And its all about the speeds of your buffing as well. Its skilled work and takes a lot of practice and time to perfect what you doing.

Nice finish mate!

Do you spray as well as polish?

[tom_mol69]

No no i aint a sprayer. I wouldn't mind possibly getting into spraying thou. As from what i have learnt already thorugh Detailing, i think i would be able to churn out some very impressive paint jobs.

[supershine]

do you have some afters photos mate, and which swirl remover do you use......

[tom_mol69]

The Car isn't no where near finished yet mate, It is going to have a full wetsand, Where i remove a few Microns of laquer in order to remove all the orange peel effect in the paint and also removing any marks such as swirls.
