Red 330ZHP to address the light water marking on the surface. Easily removed with M205 & Orange 5.5 Low profile pad. More inspection I found swirling and copious amounts of RIDS/Etching. Special thanks to Nth Degree Detailing for lending a Highline II PTG Meter.
Prior to correction, thickness readings were averaged 120-110. After average read at 110-100, in some problem areas were as low as 80! For life of the vehicle and sake of overall appearance my 1-2 combo of Meguiars + Menzerna was chosen.
Wheels - Optimum Power Clean various brushes.
Tires – Optimum OptiBond
Wash – Bath with Optimum Wash, Power Clean – Pre Wash/Prep Paint.
Decontamination – Yellow Clay, Nanoskin Towel, Optimum No Rinse
Polish – M105 & D300 via DA MF Megs Pad. Spot Buff Orange 3inch + M105. Menzerna SF 4000 via Orange 5.5 Low Profile DA
Wax – Optimum GPS, OptiSeal, Optimum Car wax
Various Products: OptiClean, PB Trim Restorer, GR 40 on Trim Cleaner.
Before
- Initial inspection showed fair amount of swirling.
Paint looked good, but not in great condition.
The main object of concern, water etching from a sprinkler in January.
During - Water etching removed, no light or medium swirling. Only microscopic RIDS could be found under heavy halogen usage.
After
Just ordered my Highline II Meter so this should greatly help during corrections and take the total guess work out of everything! I'm sad I don't have a Defelsko 1600, would be great for plastic bumpers.
