This is my girlfriends car. The first pic is what her 4 year old son decided to do with the claw end of a hammer. Repainted door and blended into front door and rear quarter panel. Someone tried to break into the car and put a bunch of gouges in the driver side rear door glass but couldn't get it to break so they went to the back. They then tried to pry the rear door open at the bottom bending the door. Since that didn't work they pried/broke the back glass denting the door. Here are the before and after pics. Still have to put the emblems back on.
This was my first time using the Meguiars M105/205 combo. I ended up sanding the front door, rear door, and quarter panel down with some 1500 to eliminate some trash and went over it with the M105 with the maroon meguiars pad. I had my halogen lights to the side so I could see as I was going. I buffed the whole side and it looked great. Couldn't see a single sanding mark. The car stayed in my garage until the next day and when I got home from work and turned the halogens back on you could see the scratches all over the whole side. I ended up having to go back over the panel with some 2000 and all still didn't come out so I went back with 3000. That finally worked. The 3M compound that I had been using never gave me any trouble like this. I do like the polish and the way it looked but not sure about the compound. Maybe I need to use a wool pad with it?
Used Dupont BC/CC
Washed with ONR
Buffed with M105 & Maroon pad
Polished with M205 & Yellow pad on rotary and pc
