cutting and polishing process???

Finally our white collection is complete!

Maybe we`ve had white Zaino pics before but I couldn`t find them. Here we have white vehicles with Klasse, Blackfire, and Zaino.

Obviously different lighting will affect the picture but I think these are 3 really good examples of the 3 products. Just thought I`d share.

Now we need one for dark cars.

Lighting is everything but hereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a split-shot. Top is Blackfire on a hazy day, below is Klasse in very bright sun.

The BlackFire looks WAY better than Klasse if you ask me on that blue subaru. I wonder if the tree`s were on the hood more if they would look the same, nothing to really shot the reflection on the Klasse`d car as there is on the Blackfire`d car.

Klasse looks horrible in that picture if you ask me.

I was looking for two shots from the same angle so maybe that wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t fair to the Klasse. HereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s another shot that shows more reflection. I still like the way Blackfire looks with this paint by far though. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a funny color, pearl ridge blue, looks different from every angle and lighting is a big factor too.

Is "subie_pc3" a picture of Klasse? It looks really nice either way.

**Sharkie** · 04-01-2002, 12:03 PM

yeah subie_pc3.jpg is Klasse

Jngrbrdman, I just posted pics of my white car in the pics forum which I used Klasse on.
Unfortunately I don`t have any comparison pics though.

That is an excellent shot orion! That is the kind of pic I was looking for but my computer was being so slow. I wanted to find a pic at a similar angle with the rest of em. :up

Im going to use M105 and M205, should i 105 the whole vehicle first and then come back around with the 205, or cut and polish one whole panel at a time and then move on to the next panel?? or doesn`t it really make a deference.

I`d completely finish one test area with both until you are happy with your results.

After that, you are on the right path and the sequence does not matter.

And then, of course, you have to post photos to show off.

**Nth Degree** · 07-11-2011, 11:48 PM

I agree on a test spot to make sure you are happy with the results you are getting, but then I recommend 105 the whole car first. It can dust quite a bit and you might want to wash the car before moving on. This will reduce the chance of picking up the leftover 105 which could compromise the result a little on darker paint.

Some tips for 105:

Tape trim and protruding edges, and perhaps gaps that are hard to get into to clean.
Tape some old newspaper onto the windows and over wipers/lower windshield trim. This will help with clean-up.
Make sure to tape the bottom edge of any windows that open. When 105 gets in there it can be difficult to remove, then streak each time you roll the windows down and back up.:banghead:
Have a spray bottle of water to extend the working time if necessary.

**imported_Time2shine** · 07-12-2011, 03:28 PM

Thanks for the tips. I know about doing a test spot i guess i should have added that in my question. Ive heard a couple people say that M105 can get dusty and others say it didnt for them, so i guess it all depends on how long you work it or how hot the conditions are your working in. My truck is and 08 tacoma and the paint color is called radiant red. Its a real bright warm kinda red. Its in really good condition except for some swirl marks and some light scratches (from hauling brush) nothing that catches a finger though. Ill also make sure to take some pics and post when finished.

**Jeff U** · 07-12-2011, 03:36 PM

If you have never used M105 beware that it can very quickly appear to flash, dry out, & turn gummy. This is normal. M205 does not do this, also normal.

Keep polishing M105 through that stage and you will get quite a bit of dust but also nice results.
