First time using my new rotary

[Lochi]

Well, yesterday was my first time using my Bosch rotary. I practiced in a old hood. The paint is single stage, and it was a disaster, paint overspray, coebweb swirls, scratches, oxidation, acid rain, tree sap, bird bombs, etc. So i decided to wetsanding it before polishing.

I doesn`t have a compound, the most agressive product that i have is #83 DACP, so I did not be able to remove completely the wetsanding marks.

After seeying this pics, i think that the results are awesome, considering the previous condition and that is the first time using the rotary.

The process:

Sonax Wash x2
Sonüs Clay
Wetsand w/ 1500 grit sandpaper
#83 DACP via rotary w/ LC Yellow Cutting Pad @ 1700 rpm
#80 SG via rotary w/ LC White Polishing Pad @ 1500 rpm
EX-P by hand

Greetings, Lochi :bigups

PS: Sorry for my bad english. :dunno

Great job on the hood
And your English is fine... have you read some of the other posts :lol

Not to take us off topic or away from the great work that Lochi did, but how would some of the more experienced detailers get those spots between the vents bought up to the same level of gloss as the rest of the hood?

just wanted to bring this one back up because of curiosity due to jaybs95`s reply. How would one go about getting the vents and closer to the hood latch areas up to the same level of gloss as the rest of the hood? Thanks! And great job Lochi! :bigups
