CMA spot remover kit and DACP
Problem: scratches on a clear coated chrome wheel on the front left side of my 2001 PT Cruiser. I put the scratches there trying to remove brake dust with a too coarse cleaning sponge.
The CMA spot remover kit includes a 3" backing plate and adapters for a drill and a PC, Small wool pad and a small foam polishing pad. Oh yes the kit has two small spray bottles one for water and one to use with alcohol and water and some Viper mf towels. The only problem I had with the kit was installing the adapters in the backing plate. I had to work the adaperts by screwing them partly in and out until they would bottom. The problem I believe was the threads on the backing plate. A little work and I the adapters were installed.
I drove the Cruiser onto the rhino ramps and got started. I prepared the water and alcohol spray and the water only spray. I tried a few different stoners polishes but no luck. I got the DACP and applied the DACP to the clear coated chrome surface. Then I put the wool pad on my PC and sprayed the pad with water. Placed the pad againist the surfaced and set the speed to number four. Turned on the PC and worked the DACP ( increased the speed to 5) and continued to work the product until the product broke down. This worked very well and the scratches were removed. I followed with #9 on the polishing pad. See the CMA site for a better description for using the kit. I could not tell if the #9 was helping. It was getting dark and I thought it would be a good time to stop. I only did one section of the wheel because I want to be able to see the results in the day light before continuing.
So far I am very pleased. I will update when I have time to do more.
