I couldn`t handle looking at the swirls in my truck anymore. I have been so busy lately and hadn`t really had any time to take care of my own ride until today.
I worked the paint above the fender flares with SSR2 with the exception of SSR1 on the hood, not too bad. After I finished with the last quarter panel I got to thinking. The last 2 combos I have used on my 4Runner (S-S black) have looked great but lacked the oily-deep black I was yearning for. I sifted through my tub of not-used-in-a-really-long-time products and found 29 ounces of Meguiars Hand Polish.
I had problems with streaking and cloudyness last time I used it and I think I gave up easy and moved on to PwC or SEPC, both yeilding great shine (with ease) but really lacking depth. Forgetting all that I had remebered about how it was to be used, I threw a Sonus Finishing pad on the ol` PC and applied a little more than a quarter sized drop to the dry pad. I thought for sheezy that I was going to set it down or sample it out to friends etc.
I worked that drop from the drivers tail light to the front of the back door, like 2`x5`. Spread it with on 3 moved to 4.5 and then 5 back and forth for about 4 minutes a section working only front to back motions. I waited about 3 minutes, did another section the same size and went back and wiped the first off. Nice and toasty warm with a very slight greasiness to the touch. I continued on around the truck eventually letting each sit a few more minutes than I had originally, solving the greasy feel. When I was done I sealed it with EX-P and wil be going back out there tomorrow to give it another.
AFAI could tell, it`s deep and I don`t think the halogens (50% off at sears BTW) are doing it justice. I haven`t read anything about this product in a while and see my old combo (SSR`s, PwC, Ex-P) talked about a lot. Might work for you. ;)
