2009 Process. Evolution of detailing

Been experimenting in 2009 with all of the new developments in DA specific products. I've locked in a few processes that are making the cut.



All washed with Citrus Wash & clear via foam gun.



First: Bad paint, DA only, Zaino finish




M105

M205

Z5pro

Z8 (12h post curing)





Second: Med swirls, rotary only, natural finish




M105 old version

Menzerna 106fa

Swissvax Concorso





Third: Med to light swirls, though sufficient for more, DA / Rotary combo, natural finish



M205

Po85rd for jeweling

Swissvax Concorso





Fourth: So far the best on white I have tested. (I like white to look like plastic)



M105 or M205 pending damage via DA

Optimum Poli-Seal

Optimum Car wax





Looks to be a good season. I'm getting the outstanding results I sell, the reaction from customers I want, and saving time.

:waxing:
 
Interesting topic, I say.



Question... when you talk about saving time, what is the primary timesaver? If I follow, you are able to two step many times where formerly you would have had to three step... Is that correct?



I'm a noob, so I'm curious...

Close.



M105 and M205 with the non-diminishing abrasives are cleaning up paint much faster than diminishing abrasives.



I used to work 100% with a rotary and would spend extra time pulling the car in and out of the sun to look for holograms, and spending extra time to jewel. Now I know there will be none when I use the D/A.

I used to use a D/A but it doesn't have enough cut so I use a rotary all the time now.
 
I think it is a case by case basis, each car has different paint and defects and will require a myriad of products and techniques, as of late Megs 205 has not finished down on every finish I have used it on, but using the DA polisher works really well depending on what you do.



I know alot of you guys are using the PC with the KB method, but I prefer the power of the Flex DA and the finess if you use it at slower speeds and finish pads.
