Hi everyone,
My dad`s 1992 Holden Caprice got some rotary goodness last night on the bonnet - my first time with the Rotary. Rest of the car was detailed a few months ago. No befores as this car is a constant work in progress, but this thing was the most heavily oxidised POS imaginable.
I used Menz 106FF and finished with a couple of rounds of 85RD. Washed and then cleaned up lightly with P21s paint cleanser (my favourite product) on an MF cloth and topped with standard P21s concours wax, which I like on white.
Front bumper needs a respray so no work done there apart from a paint cleanse and wax to make it look clean.
Rotary process was:
-800rpm spread;
-1500rpm no pressure 1 pass;
-1500rpm with pressure, 3 passes;
-1500 rpm no pressure a few more passes;
-1000 rpm to finish
Panels were a little warm after, but not hot. Edges were taped.
Next thing on the cards is to freshen up the trim.
