My painful black RX7

I have the whole week off work, so I'm probably gonna do a lil bit of the car each day. Started off tonight with the left fender, front bumper and part of the spraybombed hood. Now, it seems like this left fender, and the drivers door are about 3x more heavily marred than the rest of the paint on the car for some reason, and even more oddly enough for black single stage paint, it was rock HARD!



I started off with wool via rotary and Megs #83, and Hi Temp Extreme Cut, 5-6 times and it barely did anything to it!! Finished up with a LC VCC polishing pad and OP, threw some RMG on it and topped it with S100 and called it a night for now. Its a big improvement, but still, I probably only got 75% of the marring out.

Just because you have a Porsche, that doesn't mean you neglect the Mazda!!!!!!!!! Just seeing the headlights, that looks a thousand times better. Can't wait to see the outcome.
 
Did the left side today, wheels are off and the back jacked up cus I was cleaning and painting my hubs + rear calipers, as well as trying to install my racing beat rear camber adjuster.



Process I used for this side was

Wash

Clay

Megs #83 on a wool pad via rotary x2 on a couple panels

Optimum Polish on a white LC CCS pad via rotary

S100 as a topper

You can see how different the door and the rest of the car look in their pre-polished state for some reason.
