Megs #7 - Im just not sure....

[6cyl's_of_fury]

I gave the exterior a good going over last night, with Menzerna IP and FP then followed up with Megs #7 and S100.

Now it was late last night, but when I was done, the car looked very nice under my 500W halogens and under the fluro's in the wash bay. A few minor swirl marks under the halogen light, but overall the car was great and I was very happy with the extra depth the Megs #7 seem to add.



Now this morning, under sunlight, I am a little undecided. From a distance, sweet, no problems at all. But as I got closer, its seems to have made my orange peel quite noticable. Now Im not sure if this is the "look" that #7 imparts or not. I have to admit that from about 1 - 2m it looks far more liquid than normal, but up close....hmmmm yeah. Im just not so sure........:nixweiss



And before anyone asks, the pics I took dont show it up for some reason ( and I took 38 trying to capture it! ).



Anyone else had a similar experience or am I alone here??

Here are some shots of the major panels, under sunlight so they are hopefully a fair representation! Like I said above, I am happy with how it looks except when right up close with that pronounce orange-peel. :nixweiss

Wet sand!

OK, but normally the orange peel isnt quite as noticable.



And quite frankly, it is a company car and I cant be bothered wet sanding a car that I dont own.....

I often find that products that increase the overall appearance will also make things like orange peel more noticeable. Just, IMO, the result of having things so shiny.



And don't feel bad about the work car's paint- my A8 and S8 both have some pretty nasty orange peel in places.
