I just picked up two black 99 wrx fenders from a junk yard in order for me to compare two products and different applications:

I prep them for polish for paint correction I used;

Menzerna SIP, 106, 85rd w/orange white green pads,

I finished one part with 2 coats of swissvax saphir, one with 2 coats of pinacle souverain, and one with 1 coat of poorboy EXP and 1 coat of saphir.

Here are the before pics

All those product have different results they all bead perfectly but to the touch 2 coat of swissvax are so smooth, also swissvax looks deeper (more black).

Since those parts are from the junkyard I didn`t spend too much time correcting but the paint was close to perfect (except deep scratches...)

hope you guys enjoyed.

PS: I am the worst photograph sorry for the quality of the pics...

next week i have zymol glasur to test and i ll post some results
