I did the Drivers side door tonight because i was bored. I got a little too happy and burned the paint a little (you can see it in the picture) but luckily... i will be repainting the car soon anyway.



I Used the orange cutting pad with Powergloss then followed up with IP... it finished VERY WELL as you can seee below so i didnt even take the time to use 106.



I had A LOT of fun with this!

HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY!!!!! I certainly did!
 
Looking great Daniel for a 30 yr old door panel , looks better and wetter with more shine to it!, keep it up and soon your be a young master at it!...............:bow
 
Thanks! I lauphed at myself at my stupidity when i burned through the paint. That paint was sooooo soft too tho. Like i just went over it with my (clean) hand and i could see marring.
 
Dan, don't use speed 6 ever :lol you are definitely making progress though, if it weren't for that big spot of metal that panel looks great!
 
Haha! Yea, I did somewhat try to burn it... but not in that spot lol. I tried a little lower doing the same thing and it didnt burn through (it was repainted a while ago and i think they put 2 layers of paint on the bottom half)... i may be wrong tho.
 
lol... meh... its not THAT bad. lol You should see the roof i honestly dont know how the body shop is going to do that one, theres actual GOUGES in the paint. like the metal is uneven. I wont even touch it with any of my pads cus it would rip them apart.
 
Me personally have had it for about a year, the owner before me had it for about 5 and the original owner who left it outside a while and let tree branches collect on the hood and roof.
 
yepp, shes german lol. Thanks! I was amazed how well it finished down. And toward the end i got "wreckless" and just went straight to IP with white pad and it worked VERY well also.
