    After oiling up this Guards Red Porsche (it`s the poster child for oxidation), I`m thinking I can stay with M205 for most of the correcting - although D300 would make quick work of the RIDS and swirls. But I`m hoping for suggestions for pads. My arsenal is mainly B&S and a mixture of MF cutting. But I`ve got the time to order something else in if that`s the consensus.


    `


    Any suggestions appreciated.

    I`d try MF 1st. (my personal preference on Porsche paint).`

    `Me too.


    `


    Did a test spot first with D300 and an OPTI MF pad; 3 passes and it removed a bit less than a tenth of a mil and left the finish near LSP ready!


    Just finished the #7 routine. Lot of work; let`s hope it was worth it.


    The car has lots of door dings, etc. but I`ll post pics in a week or so.

    LeMarque- NIce to see you didn`t forget that "M07 on single stage" approach.

    LeMarque- Heh heh, reminds me of how Theal mixes Lindseed Oil with some of his compounds!` And a childhood friend`s dad use to wipe down his beater with a mix of Turpentine and some kind of oil.` Sure didn`t look Autopian but he got hundreds of thousands of miles out of it back when most cars rusted away in a few years.

    `I read somewhere the major chem companies used Lindseed Oil/Flaxseed in there compounds years ago.

    #7 did a spectacular job. It was a workout rubbing it in and buffing it it all off but it removed as much of the oxidation as my test spot with D300 and a MF pad; and you could hardly tell where my test spot was compared to the area around it after #7.


    `


    Now I`m wondering, since the 911 is going to be finished with OCP, whether or not I should just use the included PP to polish the car rather than starting with D300 and finishing with PP?


    `


    The car has semi-numerous door dings - virtually no swirls! - just lots (too many to sand out) hairline scratches that even D300 can`t correct and just a few a few areas that will need to be sanded; top of the front fenders for example.

    LeMarque- you gotta school me here- what are OCP and PP?


    `


    And yeah...I wouldn`t remove all those scratches anyhow, you`d just thin that paint more and speed the day when it needs repainted.` I live with the marring on my older Audi because I`d rather have imperfect original paint than risk having to refinish it.

    Sent a reply via my phone but it looks like it didn`t make it, so ...

    Opti-Coat Pro and their included Primer Polish; which "leaves the paint ready for OCP" without having to use something like PrepWash

    LeMarque- Ah, OK, gotcha.


    `


    To use the coating you`ll have to strip off all the oils/etc. from the M07.` Eh, I dunno....I wouldn`t go with a coating on old single stage myself as I wouldn`t want to remove those oils.


    `


    I`m usually all about stripping off Meguiar`s Trade Secret Oils, but on older single stage``I`d more likely`do the old-school "feed the paint" thing.` But eh,`that`s just me...I don`t even use sealants on my Jag`s single stage.

    I tend to agree but he saw my opti page on my website and doesn`t want to have to go through removing the oxidation again. He says he`s going to be buried in this car lol

    Just to add I was questioning the single-stage myself but spoke with Chris Thomas and he said it would be a good way to go.

    There ya go Accumulator. You put the doubt back in my mind <_<


    `


    Do you think this paint formulation wouldn`t play well with clear? What if a guy took his `87 to a paint shop to have clear sprayed on?
