RE: polo GTi
Looks nice and glossy. Did you manage to remove the swirls? What pad were you struggling with?

Nicely done yet again Mr. Mo
As Calypso mentioned what pads did you use and how did you find the paintwork? David : 083 642 2118 www.mobileimage.co.za |

RE: polo GTi
With the last few details you have posted here and on other forums, I am convinced that you have landed a contract with the local VW agent to prep their used vehicles for delivery .
End results look good. (07-01-2010 10:55 PM)mr. MO Wrote: The swirls were gone, just those surface scratches were a prob. One of the frustrating anomalies of detailing - swirling hides/masks a lot of the more serious RIDS. These then become glaringly obvious once the swirls are removed. |

RE: polo GTi
Nicely done Mo
Don't give up on Ultimate Compound and polishing pad combination. I've tried it using a Meguiar's G220 dual action polisher and a Makita BO6040 DA polisher, and it works. Revisit your process / application:

(07-01-2010 10:55 PM)mr. MO Wrote: Thanks guys Nice outcome there Mr Mo As priority I usually aim to remove swirls and I try not to focus too much on removing the deep scratches instead, after polishing I ensure that I clean the paint with a paint cleaner (Megs Paint Cleaner) which immediately reduces their (RDS) appearence, then I apply a nice glaze (CG EZ Creme Glaze) which further cleans and fills these areas resulting in further reducing their visability and I let the glaze cure for 20 min before I proceed with a wax/sealant. This process results in the RDS been less visible than before intstead of eating away at the clear. Keep up the good work |

RE: polo GTi
I do... I apply 1 spray of Quik Detailer when i commence and during the process I just wipe the pad with a damp microfibre towel.
I don't apply much pressure tho... afraid of damaging the paint. Will give it a shot again.... thanks |
