I did some more work on the SS today with the SMR, man it looks good! I dont have any pics yet, I will in a few days.



I did the lower doors and the part under the doors that raps under the car, clay'd, cleaned off the tar and other road junk, SMR, them some new fresh Z1/Z5:) cant waiit to see when it dries:)
 
Sounds like my plan for this weekend, I am hoping I can clay the car, use some of the 3M SMR and then go over the car a bunch of times with Meguiars glaze and hi-tech yellow wax....

<strong class='bbc'>Bill,
Are you using a PC to apply the 3M SMR? [/b]</blockquote>
Yep:) Pics on there way:);)
 
SMR is a really good product, but personally, I like Meguiar's #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 a little better. It just seems a little easier to work with and remove. But both are great products!
 
Curiuous about the use of both SMR and Meguiar's #9 Swirl Remover 2.0. Do you need to wash the car after using either of them with sealant type polishes? I notice that SMR comes in light and dark and that makes me think fillers and snooping on carcareonline about #9 “Polishes out all minor paint blemishes and feeds the paint with rich nutrients to bring out vibrant color and brilliance while extending paint life�. Wondering if there could be bonding issues with products like Klasse, Zaino & Blackfire with what's left behind.

Yes, there can be bonding problems with Zaino, Klasse, etc. and SMR/#9. It is recommended that you wash the car after polishing and before applying a sealant to remove any oils/residue that the polish left behind.

'cept for one thing....... Personal experience says that washing after a polish job like that would reverse the effects of polishing....... all you're doing is adding the swirls back onto the paint. All I ever do is QD, and it takes care of the residue. :up

<strong class='bbc'>If you are swirling up a fresly polished and clean car you really should look into improving your washing methods IMHO. [/b]</blockquote>
the few times I did this 'post polish, pre seal' wash, I used a sprayer bottle (the kind you get from home depot that are empty) filled with a mix of Z7........ spray it on, spray to rinse it off........ blow dry with leaf blower, use MF to spot-wipe.....

I still got swirls....... immagine that....... :rolleyes:
 
Ah Spring! Finally an 80+ degree weekend! Broke out the detailing gear and just had a nice relaxing Sunday playin' with the cars, listenin' to music and having a cold one (or two)! Just me or is this a great feeling?!
Life is good! :thumbup:
