2007 Aston Marin DB9

After I got there and took a look at the car I noticed that it had water spots on the whole car. Also there were spots on the chrome rims that had to be removed. After speaking to the owner we decided to go with a 1-step polish along with wheel polishing. We also polished the exhaust tips and cleaned the engine.

Wow - out of all the soft paint AM's I've done, I've never been able to do a 1-stepper on any of them? What were your techniques for eliminating compound micromarring?

Dave I did 2 test panels. One was M105 with tang. hydro pad and the other was M105 with tang. hydro pad and then I switched to a new pad and fallowed with M205. I then brought the vehicle outside to inspect. In the sun and the Brickman Swirl Finder there was no visible difference. So I then proceeded to do the whole car with M105 and tang. Hydro pad and M105 then wipes the car down and applied my LSP

I've done over 75 Astons in the past 13 months and have never been able to finish the paint down 100% with 105, it needs to be followed by a polish stage at a minimum and jeweling to really make the paint pop.



The overall look of the car has definitely been improved.



If your client is happy with the service you provided and the agreed upon price then that's all that matters.

I guess with all the years you & I have been polishing paint, we didn't know that you can finish with a compound on soft paint? I hate to think about all the time & money I've been wasting all these years. Maybe we should go to one of the polishing workshops that AG puts on to expand our knowledge? :LOLOL
