Cyclo Polishing: M105 and surbuf pads.

[gmblack3]

Make sure you are keeping the pads clean. Brush them off and used compressed air if you have it often. Once the fingers get "matted down" the pads need cleaned.



One or two drops of m105 on each pad.

Spread onto paint and mist a little water.

Turn on machine and polish with very low pressure.

Once the polish starts to dry, spritz more water and continue to polish. The water brings the polish back out of the pad to the paints surface.

If needed to remove deeper defects, you can keep on spritzing more water without adding more polish.



As noted above low pressure and keeping the pads clean is the key.

Thanks Bryan I can`t wait to try again.

Tried the Surbuf with Menz SIP. Worked great! Advice...clean the pad first



I used my PC7424 on speed 5, did a few passes with SIP (used 4-5 drops per section, an a little spritz of water). I took the advice of another detailer and used quite a lot of pressure and very slow arm speed. All the defects where gone, including a scratch that had eluded my efforts before. Paint looked somewhat dull after, but SIP doesn`t leave a high gloss. Then I followed up with Dodo Juice Lime Prime on a black / grey LC CCS pad. Paint gloss instantly returned. The applied a layer of Dodo Juice SN wax. I`ll be applying a second coat later.



I cleaned the Surbuf after each section, I found compressed air at 40psi wasn`t doing it and rather than fire up the compressor, went for a brush, worked well. Then after I was done, wash with dish soap (as per instructions) and left to dry.

Yeah I don`t have a compressor either that brush technique sounds like a nice alternative.

AeroCleanse- Hey, that`s interesting that the Lime Prime was sufficient after the SurBuf!
