Pinnacle ASR/AFP Results . . .

[fdizzle]

Yesterday FAST05STANG and I detailed a black 2006 BMW 330I



Steps: (polish and wax applied via PC DA)



Washed to remove debris/soil

Automagic Blue Clay on specific parts of vehicle (using automagic no.49 as lube)

Advanced Swiril Remover w/ LC yellow pad x 2

Advanced Swiril Remover w/ LC orange pad x1

Advanced Finishing Polish w/ LC white pad x 1

Auto Magic Carnuba Express Wax w/ LC black pad x1

Usual interior/exterior/engine cleaning/conditioning and dressing



Vechile is a used car detailed for delivery to a customer for a family friend's used car buisness. . .



Vehicle had bad surface scratches, stains, waterspots and imperfections, had never been waxed or cleaned, and had been taken through car washes (sorry, digi cam still down, I hate writing these posts and not having pics)



This is not a product review of the pinnacle ASR/AFP, however,



Though the Pinnacle products removed surface contamination, dullness and ultra mild surface abrasions/holograms - they did very poorly at removing the many light and moderate swiril marks, and fine scratches on the vehicles paint, even with two applications with a yellow pad and one application with an orange pad..... All products were applied in a cool, well lit enviornment, using Pinnacle XMT Pad conditioner. All pads used were well broken in and clean. Product was applied at speed 3-4 and worked in at speed 6 using seven to eight passes per application. Product had very mild dusting.



Just thought I would share my results. I posted a previous thread about Pinnacle ASR/AFP and did not get very many replies, most of which were not very optimistic . . .so I suppose I am not to surprised. Oh well, I get my Optimum line friday, cant wait . . . :getdown

i had no luck with the pinnacle products either,or xmt so i went with menzerna for my new polishes.boy am i glad i did,as long as you can put up with some dusting they are fantastic.

check this out and it had real bad swirls and cobwebs before.

nice buddy. . . . I chose optimum only because autogeek sold it and it made sense to only pay once for shipping. A lot of people here use their polishes along with menzurna - which i will be ordering aswell, just ran out of money.



so you have had some dusting with menzurna ?



The xmt dusted like you were in a dirt field, and the PASR and PAFP had a little bit of dust, but nothing to bad . . .



second q - what did you top that paint with - it looks fantastic . . ?

that pic had no lsp on it,it just finished that way with fpII.i never was able to get the xmt lineup to dust real bad but the menzerna lineup does dust quite a bit.but for the finish i got i can handle washing the car again to get rid of the dusting.
