Correction Help needed.

Imho

Menz polishes are made more for rotaries, than da's

Just my opinion/experience

May be better off trying a different combo.

How much damage needs correcting?

Torch Red Convertible. That's what I figured and why I regretted not getting the Flex. This was my first correction so it's been a learning experience.

Ya this is why when someone tells me they're looking for a DA polisher for their Corvette or BMW or Mercedes or other type of vehicle that is known to have hard clearcoats, I strongly recommend a FLEX or RUPES polisher. It just makes life so much easier.

what polish would you suggest, then? I tried Megs 105, as well. I thought it performed comparably to the 400.

It was pretty well swirled everywhere. I'm sure it had some factory damage but it was probably mostly the result of my ignorance in washing and waxing techniques when I first got it. Now that I "get it" I'm trying to correct it and try again! It's only a few months old.

And to answer your other post, I'm in Northern NJ.

Please, please, please do a comparo of the synergy and souveran on the Vette (hopefully with pics). :pray: I've been debating whether to get the synergy but I haven't been convinced it is worth the premium price.

I will be glad to do this. I have a QX80 that I will be doing some testing on even though the paint is brand new :D

How does everyone like Midnight Sun? and also Menzerna 4500?

I will have to add this to my cart as well to test.;)

You better go ahead and pre-arrange a session with a massage therapist the day after if you plan on performing all of this on the same day
Unless you perform this type of work on a regular basis, you will be experiencing a great deal of soreness the day(s) after


Don't forget the pics !!

Thanks VetteMan. I really look forward to your review. I used 4500 on mine and liked it. What color is the QX80?

Just saw the pic of your Vette (it wasn't showing up on my work computer). She's gorgeous. Love the hood.
:drool: :bigups
 
To OP. Rememberer to start with a test panel first. Always start with the least aggressive product and pad combo. Some good advice in this thread.
