Meg DACP

[Douxebris]

Newbie alert...

I've been reading this board for over a month (and yes, I've used the search thingee, TONS of good advice); but I have a question:

Has anyone had bad experience (ie: _ruining_ a paint job using Meg's DACP with a DA polisher?) I asked, because I've used my PC on my 3 cars (with great success), with Megs products including Fine Cut #2, Machine Glaze, Medallion Cleaner, #9 polish...

BUT NOW, my boss has asked me to detail his 74 yellow vette, which has multiple swirl/spider-web marks throughout the paint. Being the boss's car, I was thinking I should wash, clay, paint cleaner, and evaluate from there. plan a.) If marked improvement, I would then apply #9, and top with a wax.

plan b.) If not, go stronger, perhaps DACP, and work my way back up.

Now, allthatbeingsaid, has anyone had good/bad experience of simply applying DACPto a poorly maintained paintjob, and then topping with a wax?



Thanks for any assistance

I detailed my Father's 1997 BMW 740iL for his Christmas present this year and I used DACP with CMA's yellow cutting pad, followed by P21 GEPC using CMA's white polishing pad, followed by Platinum Ulitimate Paint Pre-Cleaner with CMA's white polishing pad and then finaly Platinum Ulitimate Paint Protection with CMA's grey finishing pad. I have nothing but good things to say about DACP. Here are two pics of the results.

I plan on using this same recipie on my Jet Black 7 series followed with a P21S wax topper the next time I do the complete detail.



Cheers,

My Black 7 Series

Ever work on a car that has NO clearcoat?



Easy does it!



Go one step at a time.



Evaluate your progress.



THEN, select the next product to use, based on your progress.



Having said that, DACP, with light use of a PC Random orbital buffer, would be my first choice.

I did a red 91 miata which was badly oxidized. It had no clearcoat. The results were stunning (not my words, but the owner's). DACP rocks. With a PC, it's pretty safe.

I used DACP, Swirl Free Polish, Hand Polish and Meguiars #26 to bring back the paint on this Explorer (obviously a non-clear coated paint job).

I have great results too with DACP applied with my PC & yellow pad. :xyxthumbs

Here are some pictures of a 1987 Mercedes 460SL no clear coat.

Note the pad will turn the color of the car you are working on its just removing some old dead paint.



After DACP I finished up with #7 and #26. The owner was thinking of have it repainted before he brought it to me now he has change is mind.
