Had a customer bring me this car. Had not had it detailed since he got it from the dealership 3 months ago. Thing was in pretty had shape. Wanted as much correction as possible. Which managed to get roughly 98%. Had some fine hair scratches lefted. But ran out of time working on it as he needed it back by a certain time.



Seems that due to a weird things about these paints you cant go aggressive with them. They respond better to less aggressive ways.



Process:



M105 - W. LC Pad - Dewalt 849 1200 rpms

SIP - W. LC Pad - GG DA - Spd 6

Super Finish - B. LC Pad - GG DA - Spd 5

Super Finish - B. LC Pad - GG DA - Spd 4

Poorboy's Blue Wax

Test Spot:



*Not the actual process I went with. Test spot was done by DA only just to see if I could get the correction I wanted. But as you can tell there were still some scratches left, so decided to pull out the Dewalt.

Nice work! I guess you lucked out with the paint. 99.9% of the time your screwed trying to go harder and harder haha



Well actually I did not luck out, I just figured it out after 4 hours of testing. :grrr



My original combo was Power Gloss via Rotary with PFW pad, followed up by SIP via GG DA on both Orange and then White Pad, finished with Super Finish. Well that combo corrected perfectly, but left heavy holograms through the whole thing.

Nice job. :)



Was that the self-healing paint or the normal Nissan paint?



At first I thought it was the self healing paint from the trouble it was giving me, just turns out its Nissans very weird Hard Clear
