A little bit about me:
I've been a member/lurker for a little while now. Even before I signed up for the forums, here. I do amateur detail, but am getting ready to up my game.
Currently, I do detailing on my friend's and family's cars, as well as my own. Sometimes another car if I have time, but mostly I just do this when it's nice out and I want to clean something! ha
I own a 1992 green Saturn SL2 and a 1987 black Porsche 944 turbo.
Keeping care of the paint on the Saturn has always been relatively easy. With a thick clearcoat and a deep metalic green (with blueish hue) it didn't really show scratches easily, and it has been a great car for me to practice on.
However, my Porsche is a different story. The paint feels soft, just like the Saturn's, yet it doesn't respond willingly to my techniques, practiced on the cheaper daily driver. I haven't extensively attempted any paint work on the car yet. Still saving to get some supplies that I feel, better suit the car.
On that note, I'm curious if anyone has good suggestions for products and technique on this German paint! Its in great condition, and I'd say the overall exterior (paint-wise) is an 8.5 out of 10.
Thanks for your time and suggestions. It's going to be fun here!:buffing:
