more agressive than z-pc

[Tommy W.]

Hey,



Used z-pc with a PC on my 02 black Turbo Carerra and loved that stuff!

However, I may need to go a little more agressive next time.

What is the next most agressive product out there?



Also, followed up with z-5 pro and topped with Nattys. :wow:

what would be the best QD to use over the Natty`s?



As always, thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Optimum compound and optimum hyper compound



Over natty fk425?

I agree, the Optimum line of polishes are excellent!

Lol learned it from watching you Scott

Hi Temp Extreme Cut or heavy cut

Another vote for the Optimum polishes since they are so easy to use.



For a QD I like Quik Shine (http://store.danase.com/clqush1.html) or PB`s S&G (http://store.danase.com/powospandgl1.html).

Where would Menzerna IP fall in comparison with the Optimum line with your experience....?

Hi Temp Extreme Cut or heavy cut



HTEC is gonna be a little "heavy" for the soft porsche black clear.



I used the HTEC/OP mix on this Black Porsche Twin Turbo (http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/83330-porsche-twin-turbo-black-zpc-z5pro.html) and a orange pad via PC and it left to much micromarring IMO. I ended up with ZPC and a white LC pad via PC.



Tommy, How bad was your paint to start with and what pads did try?



Post up some pics! :cool:

IMO IP has a little bit more cut then OP.

Actually the paint was pretty good. The car looks absolutely stunning except in the harshest of direct sunlight. As far as pads, I used the most agressive one that comes with the Sonus kit (orange). This was on a 5 setting on the pc. This got most of it out.



Thanks!!

You could always use a higher cut pad with the zpc. for instance:



ZPC with light cut or heavy cut followed by ZPC with polishing or finishing pad.



You can`t go wrong with the optimum line if you want a bit more cut, and also the hi temp cut`s are nice.

Would the Optimum polish or compound be better as far as slightly more agressive than z-pc?

All of the plishes mentioned above are nice but I prefer 3m 05933 or one of the Menzerna polishes like IP. I have also had good luck with PB 2.5.

I agree with Greg.



You might try a more aggressive pad. I like the burgundy Meguiar`s or LC cutting pad with mild polishes (IP or Meg`s Light Cut) followed by a polishing pad ( Meg`s or LC) with Z-PC Fusion when using a PC to bring out that final gloss and depth. Don`t be afraid to turn that PC up to 6.



Menzerna IP is slightly more aggressive than Z-PC and its level of aggressiveness can also to adjusted by pad selection and pressure applied during polishing.

ZPC is pretty effective with an orange pad- and it leaves a nice finish.
