Well, I picked up a 2003 540i M Sport in Alpine White yesterday! I decided to detail it today. I worked around 12 hours on the paint with my porter and achieved I would say roughly 80-85% correction. I found setting six on the PC to be the friendliest as far as getting things done...here is what I did and um question follows....
Clay
Severe Swirl/mint pad x 2 applications(note this step was only performed if needed)
Swirl and haze/orange pad x 2 applications
Menzerna po85rd/white pad
Now my question is: on the PC is there any technique to speed up hard paint correction? I had to wrap things up because it had to be done tonight...I of course feel confident if I would have either had anoter application of SSR and another applications of the fine polish I could have eliminated much of the micro marring. Instead of say, two applications of around 2-3 minutes each(worked in small areas), would a longer application yield better results than many shorter ones?(more product?).
Also....if I want a faster correction time, is my only option really a flex? I have had zero experience with BMW/Mercedes paint, so it's been a learning day(not a bad thing, right?)
