well, she brought the car over and it was very poorly maintained. Bugs, dirt, swirls, you name it! I washed it twice after a good long soak, first time with dawn, then
meguiars wash. Paint was very rough, 2 times around with clay, first time the
sonus gray, then the sonus yellow. Another quick wash followed by Optimum polish and sonus yellow pad. Went around twice withis combo, then once with the white pad. It took out about 85% of the scratches and all the swirls. She has door dings and some deep scratches from parking up close to the door at work. She has had ankle surgery and is due for 2 knee replacements.
I tried something new this time. I polished the entire vehicle then washed the residue off. Seems like this was less abrasive to the paint. Other times I wiped the residue off I was wondering how many swirls and scratches I was putting in by doing this, the wash worked great!
Next was the DG 601, followed by a coat of the 105, let it sit a half hour then buffed the top and hood. All I can say is wow! A big blue deep lake, looks like you can jump right in! Another thing I found out, buffing off the 105 is much easier with a cotton towel. I use the vroom diaper cotton towel. It drags a lot less then the MF and seems to be better for the paint.
Tomorrow another coat of the 105, then the interior, already did the wheels and tires.
Pics tomorrow as I'm tired and worn out, been a rough day!
will be appreciated! Thanks!
