Meguiars 16 and Brilliant Black

[imported_Sludge1]

This was not intended to be a click and brag, so there are no before pictures. However it turned out better than I expected, so I thought I would share the after pictures.



Process:



Wash: Optimum No Rinse

Clay: Clay Magic Blue Clay

Paint: Flex 3401

Meguiars 105 with orange CSS pads when needed, but mostly LC white pads.

Menzerna FP II on LC gray pad.



For some reason this combo did not work well on the hood. I ended up using SIP on an orange CSS pad and then 106FF on a white LC pad. Worked pretty good.



LSP: Meguiars #16. This went on easier than I expected. A little friction turns it into a liquid and if not used too heavy it wipes off easily.



Overall I got about 90% of the defects removed. Most everything left were RIDS which even 105 on orange did not touch. I will live with them.



Pictures:

Living in a small town I was fortunate to pick up Meguiars 16 for 14.88 per can.

Wait until it rains, #16 has very nice beading characteristics.

Very nice. :xyxthumbs I like the use of the empty parking lot. Tired of seeing cars in people's driveways.

Thanks all. I don't know how the pros do this every day ( and they do a lot more than I did). This third beer is just beginning to take some of the edge off the pain.

The black paint on the MX-5 looks wet and has a real nice glow to it. I can't wait to try my #16 on my car. Nice work!!!!

Nope, its the overflow lot at the mall (south side toward Red Banks Rd.) I will have to try Pitt Comm. next time. :chuckle:
