AMINO UV Picture

[Thomas Dekany]

First of all, it was suppose to rain all day but it didn't until noon so I went ahead anyway.

Wash (dish washing)

Mother's clay (2.5 hours)

Wash (Hi Temp car wash shampoo)



I proceeded to use my PC and did 1/4 of the hood with 3M F it II and realized I would not finish on time ( 3M F it II, 3M SMR, 3M IHG and Show Car Wax) so I took out the two AMINO products I was going to use on my car to test.



By hand - I am much faster then with the PC (used it only once.)

I had only 2 hours to finish.



Restoration pre cleaner - Used a Meg's foam pad and used circular motion as directed although they suggest terry cloth pads.

Very easy on and very easy off. It gave the car a very deep glossy shine.



Next I applied



Liquid Polymer Wax - Again with a foam pad (recommended)

Also went on easy and came off easy ( waited 25 minutes before removing it)



BTW both items are recomended to be used with a PC for best results.



Since both the weather and the light in the garage $ucked I couldn't really tell if the pre cleaner got rid of any of the light swirls. The car has lots of deep scretches so I hope to experiment with the PC and the 3M products for better results in the future.



It took me 5 hours with 2 lunch breaks.



Obviuosly these pictures are also low quality, especially the first one



I will take new and better pictures tomorrow if it is sunny.

It was raining in both pictures and my girlfriend had to leave.

Girlfriend is very pleased with the result. She even helped to get the wax off.

Nice. So what side of the hood was prepped? Notice any difference?

 

[Thomas Dekany]

I started on the right side but I was really hurrying to be done by 2pm and I didn't get a chance to inspect the car outside due to all the rain. i'll wash it tomorrow and put another coat of wax on if i have the time.



As far as prepping - I used the PC for a minute max and just wiped off the remaining.

Here is the the left side of the hood, that wasn't touched by Finesse It II.

Here is the right side, that I treated with the PC for a short time - I didn't use it for a minute - more like 30 seconds. I didn't work the product in enough either, so I am very happy with the results. Now I know that I can get rid of the swirls on this car.
