Heres somethin i did this morning just to keep me off the computer for a few hours and have my little workout for the day before i goto bed this morning. (i work nightshift. Sleep during the day)
So its a 2005 Nissan frontier. The bed is just covered in ORANGE PEEL. Its beyond the warrenty so I cant just hand it back. So i'll live with it for now and get that worked out at a later date. For now i'll just keep it swirl free.
Products of choice:
Megs Gold Class Wash
Megs Claybar w/ Megs NXT Quick Detailer
wait for surface to cool (meaning make breakfast)
Prima Swirl with White LC Pad at speed 5
Prima Epic with Black LC pad at speed 3
1st step: Prep
2nd)As you can see here. The tailgate isn't exactly swamped with swirls but a nice noticeable amount.
3rd)Test spot on left side of tailgate: There wasn't a great amount of swirls and the paint is great to work with. (except the orange peel of course) but white pad was all i needed
4th) The first pass with the white pad got them about 80% The 2nd pass cleared up the area perfectly.
5th)time to goto town on the rest of the gate. Here is the Start to finish results I got on the entire project after 2 passes at speed 5
Before:
First pass:
Second Pass:
6th step) Take out into the sunlight to triple check my results. I got a nice 95-96% correction after two passes on the entire tailgate. Which means I must be doing something right.
I blame the orange peel for now showing the proper reflection on my trucks bed. The sun came out at like 7 this morning. Almost makes the tailgate look primered huh
Results in sunlight before epic was applied:
After waiting a bit. It was finally time to apply the Prima Epic. This stuff is amazing. Very easy to use and the smoothness of this product once finished is great!
After 30 minutes: 1 coat
Out in the sun:
Thanks for lookin. Sorry for such a long write-up on such a small part of the truck. But i get into this stuff hah
