3m 05928 and 39009 by hand?

[chevysales]

hi all,



long time zaino user here



new vette 2004 magnetic red.



had 2 small scratches (which i lightly removed using (by hand) 3m perfect-it2 #05928 and it removed them but left a very light haze which i am sure is from product not getting any heat.



will 3m swirl remover #39009 remove this haze?.



these are 2 seperate areas one aprox 2" x 2".



the other maybe 2" by 6".



one coat of zaino z5 and then z2 hides them in sunlight and under my flourescant lights in garage (daylight bulbs 4` 5000k-#92 on color).



after having 5 camaro ss` over the years i never ever touched with agressive stuff always taking great care not to put marks in paint during any cleaning steps...i just had to start on a $52k car...urgh....





thanx in advance :)

none of the knowledgeable people here could share some of there insight with this?

I am not familiar with 3ms products but it sounds like you just need to step down a notch and finish with a less abrasive polish...if 3m`s SMR is like FP(i use menzerna/megs) it should do the trick. I seem to recall the 3m SMR is a filler/non-abrasive...but I could be wrong.

Edit* That hazing might be normal if the polish you started with is a "heavy-cut".

thats correct the 05928 is a heavier abrasive.



i probably should have started with the smr (39009 is mildly abrasive. at this point just trying to remove haze no more than that.



thanx

no problem :up how did it turn out?

[chevysales]

rainy weather keeping me from a re-wash and re-try...actaully going to rain for next week according to weather :(



any fillers will be removed after i am done with an alcohol wipe prior to re-zainoing spot.



the couple of scratches are gone :)



now i need to bring glossy finish back so a filler polish isn`t going to do much but 3smr does have a mild abrasive.



the magnetic red is an extra cost tinted top coat from gm and is an awesome color, i can`t get a buffer in the 2 small spots as its next to corvette emblem on nose.



thanx

Keep us posted! maybe tape up the emblem so you dont have to worry about bumping it-just a thought.
