I sanded the orange peel with 2000 grit 3M paper and a rubber block. I soaked the paper for about 25 minutes in a pail of water and used AM`s Body shine to lubricate the surface while sanding.
To remove the sanding haze I used Meg`s DACP with an Edge Yellow foam pad at about 1100-1200 RPM`s.
I followed that with my favorite Speed Glaze and a green pad at about 1300 to 1600 RPMs.
To finish the panels and achieve the most gloss I used Megs. #9 and a blue edge pad and turned to buffer to about 2000 to 2200 RPM`s.
I sealed with UPP and topped with P21.
00Ranger:
Engine Bay was detailed last September, so it was not to difficult at all. Simple Green diluted by 50% was sprayed on the engine and bay. Light agitation near areas of grime followed by pressure wash. All this is done to a warm (not hot) engine. Dressed with AM`s Dress-It.
groebuck: DACP is more aggressive and more effective on more seriously defective and oxidized surfaces. I feel that Speed Glaze really polishes the surface to a level that is "almost" ready for sealing. I stress "almost" though. I always follow SG with Swirl Free polish or Swirl Remover.
