After the PW+SIP?

[astrob0y]

Is it okay to go with 85RD with a blue pad after using a purple wool with SIP?



Also what process can i use for cleaning carpets without an extractor?

I wouldn`t make that far of a stretch after using a wool pad if the car was a dark color.

Unless the paint is remarkably hard 8rd/blue will not clean up the marring SIP/PFW leaves behind. Remember, SIP can fill. I`d do an interim step of SIP/white or IP/white or something in between for sure.

Picus - I`m going to detail a 2001 (i believe) BMW 328, and i`ve heard about their hard clear coats?

I`ll probably go for the SIP w/ orange first then purple wool if needed. Then SIP w/ white and finally 85RD w/ blue.



David Fermani - Great write up! What products do you recommend for the pre-spot stains? Solvent-base? Enzyme-based?



Thanks again guys.

i have never had to pull out PFW on a BMW. orange pad should be fine. i did this detail using 106/white. once you get the hang of the polish. youll leave it LSP and may not 85rd.

I personally prefer PFW to orange just because it produces so much less heat, but that`s just me. I don`t use orange pads much anymore. That said, I`d try with orange first in your case because it will leave less marring behind, and if it gets the job done on the removal part you`ll have less work finishing clean.
