Yesterday I showed pictures of what an accessory shop can do to a tonneau cover after they had installed same on my truck. Even though they were told to not clean the cover after installation. Here is the link to that thread. http://www.detailcity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16147
Today I took out the PC and tried to work out the holograms and the marring that was instilled by the accessory shop yesterday while in for installation of the tonneau cover.
Process:
Poorboy’s S&W to take the dust off
Detailers Paradise Swirl with LC white polishing pads and PC to take off what ever product that was put on the tonneau cover by the installer.
Menzerna PO106FF with Propel2 Orange cutting pad and PC
Zaino ZPC Fusion with blue Propel pad and PC
Zaino Z6 wipedown
Zaino Z2
Zaino Z8
The Swirl paint cleaner gave me a good paint surface. Almost all the holograms were gone after application. I had hopes that the marring would be gone based on a previous experience with the product. It must have been an anomaly. Because I have never been able to duplicate my initial results with this product. Although it does what it says. It does clean the paint.
Did not have any Optimum products at hand to further enhance the paint surface so I had to go to my stash of Menzerna Po106FF with PC and orange cutting pad.
Next was Zaino ZPC Fusion with a blue Propel pad. It cleaned up anything left by the Menzerna. Needed a surface to apply the old version of Zaino Z2 since I did not have any ZFX at my disposal for this detail. Topped it off with Z8. The end results cannot be captured by my humble attempt of picture taking. Suffice it to say the tonneau cover is as it should be. Looking practically brand new.
Any questions or comments?
