So I've spent MONTHS bringing back an 06 z06 from Alaska. From Wetsanding CCW's and polishing repeatedly to probably 4 and sometimes 5 polishes a panel. Using alot of Adam's products for the first time but for the paint correction did the following:
- Carpro Ironx - twice..first time you would have thought the car was purple.
- Solid hand wash
- Zaino clay bar, I have a couple from back in the day
- Menzera Intense polish with Orange lakewood pad and porter cable (dusted quite a bit
- Menzera Finish polish with White lakewood pad
- Surface Prep with double soft polish cloth
Given time between some of this I did use the waterless wash and towel to get dust off from sitting. But did the last final polish yesterday. Opened garage door and there are some light scratches. Looks like from the microfiber towel. Not sure if this is from me not polish right or pushing too hard on the towel when trying to clean on bare paint? Should I hit it with a black pad then be ultra careful surface prep?? they are light enough if I was using Zaino or probably adams sealant they would fill if you know what I mean. But I'm ceramic coating everything (first time using) and worried I'm coating imperfections for 3 years.
Care still has pitted clear coat and scratches but way better than when I started. It's probably never had paint correction and good washing techniques, Alaska summers even are not easy on cars with the gravel and dirt up there.
