Hey Everyone,
I finally got around to using 3M SMR on my GF Black Cavalier. Much better product I found than the #9 original (not version 2.0). Although, I have to kick it up a notch to the machine polish to remove some of the marks.
Is the Machine Polish similar to #2 Fine Cut by
Meguiars? I have feeling it falls somewhere in between the #9 and #2.
Secondly, as I live in a building (for now) I don't have the luxury of being able to wash my car at home lately. So I used a local detail shop for a wash ($10). What a disappointment! The guys fills the wash bucket with soap and only rinses the mitt after 1/2 the car is scrubbed. Get this, he did 1/2 the hood then TIRES then front quarter, door bottom, door top, rear quarter then roof all without rinsing !!!!!!! :scared When I finally realized what happen I jumped into the back and yelled! The damage was done though! Never never never again. Drying... with dirty towels! Stay far far away from Fine Details. Bunch of hacks if you ask me. Sure the
Meguiars... so what! I was then working on Lexus 400 and were buffing out some minor swirls. The pad was soo freakin dirty it actually created more swirls. The tech then said that the clear wasn't applied well that they should complain with the dealer
.
I plan on going with Zaino in the spring once I get the paint condition in check.
Lastly, I have an IPOD that the plastic screen is a very little scratched. Is it alright to us the SMR on it? Or should I stick with something else. I would use Plexus but I don't plan on putting my order in for at least 1 week. What an order that will be!
