I started this thread explaining my problem.

http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=77602



What i think i need to do at this point is find an even finer polish than #82 to remove this haze i STILL have. Not sure what to use. Is there anything OTC that i can get possibly? Ordering online would blow becauase my car will have to stay in the garage for at least another week.



What can i get?





Im done with megs pro-line, optimum and menzerna here i come!

Coupe,

Get a non cutting finishing pad and use very little pressure to no pressure on the pc. That should get rid of the haze.

I did that.....nadda



I tried EVERYTHING.



The finishing pad with #82 worked the best but there is still micro-marring (haze).

Hey,



After the #82, try this: take a Finishing Pad (W-9006) and use Meg`s #66 Quick Detailer Cleaner/Wax. I have sometimes had great success when all else left marring on scratch sensitive surfaces. Follow this with your last step product.



Give that a try,

Tim

What kind of car are you working on and what pads are you using? Normally, #80 and #82 finish down haze free. :nixweiss

I just think the paint is really soft. I have never had a problem with #80 and #82, they have always finished down flawless. Just not on my own personal car :mad:

just out of interest why are you using 82 after 80?



82 has no fillers and a cut to is, 80 contains fillers and has a slight cut.



order should be 83, 82 then 80.....



If you are not working the glaze long enough (until almost gone) thiose could be creating some streaking....

No, I would use the #66 with the PC and a Finishing Pad. The light cutting ability provides just enough cut (when used with a PC) to lightly remove a haze left by #82 on very scratch sensitive paints. Normally I use #66 with the rotary, but in certain circumstances, the #66 and the PC does the trick!



You could try ColorX, but I prefer #66.

Hey,



Actually the order from the most aggresive to least is:



#83, #80, #82, #9



Meg`s #80 is a cleaner polish with a special paintable polymer providing slight protection for fresh curing paint. Normally after using #83, Meg`s #80 will finsih down enough for most finishes. But some scratch sensitive paints may require an even finer product like #82 or #9.

Edit:

It appears as though #66 is the same cut as #80, i dont know how that is gonna help really.

I thought #9 but it appears to be the same cut as #82, bummer.

I think i would still try the #9. It has got to work. Then give it a good #7.......

So now its between using #9 or #66.

I dont wanna buy both. Im not gonna be using megs pro-line anymore after i fix this.
