Had a chance to use my new Vector rotary buffer from CMA on an older Ford pickup. It had extensive marring and spider webs along with some deep scratches and chips from years at the parking lot at the mall. The surface of the paint was very rough with little or no care in recent years. The owners idea of a detail is to go to the local swirl mart every other week. She visits my wife often. I just could not take it any more seeing all those swirls and scratches. So I offered to detail her truck and she hesitantly accepted. Here are the results, process, pictures and a few comments.
Wash
Blackfire clay and Adam’s detail spray as lubricant.
Poorboy’s spray and wipe to clean up clay residue with Adam’s mf towel to buff off.
Rotary with LC white pad using
Menzerna Power Gloss. Cleaned residue with MF towel and fifty /fifty Iso and water.
PC 7424 with LC white pad using PB SSR1. Buffed with MF towel.
Applied PB EX with carnuba with MF applicator pad. Buffed with MF towel. Used Adam’s QD and MF towel to clean up any extra residue. It also added to the shine.
Please do not make any comments about the wheels. I had nothing in my arsenal that would even touch those wheels. I did wash them and applied
Klasse AIO to all the wheels. I also used Never Dull to one wheel. But that was a hopeless situation.
The vector rotary was the star of this show. I made a lot of newbie mistake but in the end the power of the rotary took over. The Menzeerna Power Gloss was a good product but felt that it had a lot of dusting. Propbably applied to much product.
The PB product were excellent as well. All of them were easy on and easy off.
Showing the hood with etched in water spots and very rough surface.
Showing the hood with paint chips but no swirls or water spots.
Here are scratches that showed up after the wash.
Here is a picture after Vector rotary and

Now here is the end results.
ecstatic!
