So.Chi.Goat Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 So I just finished detailing toms car went by friday to do my strip wash and detail the engine bay and get familiar with the lines on his car...products are all adams...except 1 or 2...then I woke up early the next day and began with a clay bar (thankful for his garage).. then I taped of the edges of his vinyl hood and began with orange pad and shr it removed all but one scratch that needed to be wet sanded so 1 pass of shr followed by 1 pass of fmp took care of all of the swirls and scratches that were there...also found where a body shop had done some wet sanding and left a ton of micromarring that made it look hazy. I pretty much removed it all but if I wanted perfection I had to finish it down with 2000 grit wet and polish it out...after I put a nice coat of quick sealant followed by brilliant glaze then sandwiched that under some americana paste wax...and commence the face melting.... Chemical guys citrus wash with adams all purpose cleaner. Adams all purpose cleaner Adams clay bar Adams detail spray Flex vrg3401 polisher Adams severe swirl remover Adams swirl and haze remover Adams fine machine polish Adams waterless wash Adams quick sealant Adams in and out spray Adams super vrt Adams brilliant glaze Adams americana paste wax Adams single soft towels Adams double soft towels Adams waterless wash towels Adams edgeless utility towels Adams great white drying towels Adams boulder blonde boars hair brush Adams wheel and fender brush Adams grit guard inserts Meguiars 105 ultra cut compund...

Ralfy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Question, why was the m105 needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So.Chi.Goat Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I used the m105 for some horrible wet sanding work that a body shop did and left a lot of marks behind...that stuff helps me speed thru polishing out wet sanding marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralfy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Did you try the severe swirl and haze remover before the m105?? I'm just wondering because it seems like for more abused paint people are using the m105 for the Adams. No I'm not encouraging people tk go out and try it or use it, just wondering what separates the 105 from the SS&H remover?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So.Chi.Goat Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 It took 3 passes of m105 to get what I wanted ...it took a heck of a lot more to get out what I wanted with the ssr...I love the ssr but when comes to timei use the 105 cuz it knocks hella time off when I sand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
