Checking Detail Steps

[DieselDude]

This is what I am having to deal with (picture below).

 

 

After watching the DVD twice and reading the board here. My plans are the following so what do you all think?

 

Wash and Dry

Clay Bar

Wash and Dry

Swirl and Haze Remover (SHR) Wipe following

Fine Machine Polish (FMP) Wipe following

Machine Super Wax (MSW) Wipe following

Buttery Wax

 

I am going to get all this done in one day.

Are you going to use a PC?

[DieselDude]

I am going to use the NEW Porter-Cable

[BrandonL]

Good choice . You're probably going to have go over it a few times with the Swirl and Haze Remover and the Orange pad. Then finish with the Fine Machine Polish and Machine Super wax like you plan. wait for at least 12 hours before you apply the Buttery Wax though as you might get some light hazing that you would need to wipe off from the curing of the Machine Super Wax. Other than that you're looking good.

 

 

Just make sure to work slow and in small areas at a time and you're golden

That will take 3-4 passes with SHR @ 6k in past experiences, that is pretty extensive water spotting.

That's a lot of work for one day, but it can be done. Just to warn you, you may not get the results you wanted after the 1st try, especially if there are lots of places to correct.

 

I did the same thing when I first got my Adam's goodies, took all day to do my truck and it looked much better, but not the way I had hoped. I am now slowly working one area at a time, getting my technique down, and doing some wetsanding (after getting lessons) I'll do the whole truck again next month when it is cooler.

I would plan on a minimum of 2 and most likely 3 days, but you will get that out

 

Take your time and get each panel the way you want it before moving on and you'll get the results your looking for :rockon:

No need to remove the SHR before you go into the FMP step... you can if you want so that you can inspect your work after each panel, but you can get away with simply going right to FMP over the top of SHR.

Looks like you're going to be off to a good start! Just remember to let the SMW cure for 12 hours after the initial wipe down to prevent any haziness.

[OIF Vet]

Don't rush it man. like Bill said, take your time and only move to the next panel when you achieve the results that you want. Good luck and have fun.
