Thumbs up Need some help fairly quick...

Okay, so I had a client bring by a CTS-V today that he wants done. The car is bad. Never been washed since he's had it except the $5 car washes!

Anyway, I did a little test section tonight to show him what I could do and for me personally to see what I could do.

ON TO MY QUESTION. I could get a VAST majority of the swirls and watching etching out, but I'm still not satisfied. I used an ExcelErasure Orange pad first with Zaino ZPC and then finished off with a white pad with ZPC. I just didn't get all the swirls out that I wanted, granted it looked MUCH better.

Any suggestions? I am thinking of picking up some Menzerna SIP or IP and trying it. Thanks for any input.




PS- I will be purchasing a rotary soon (when I get the money)


Here's some reference pics:

In Michigan the going rate for a car wash is $1 & $2! Imagine what detailers have to go through there?

What you did looks ALOT better, but the amount of correction needed might not be possible with a PC (if that's what you're using?). Dark Caddy paint is a pain to work with. I've seen some excellent correction (through pictures) of Menzerna via a PC, so that might be worth a try.
