This is a Work in progress and thought I would give you guys a sneak peek on what I'm working on, I'll call this one Project: OXYCLEAN haha. This Mustang belongs to a friend of mine so I told him that I wouldn't mind working on it to see what kind of a result I could get. It sits uninsured in the garage so I just slowly started working on it.
Before
After using riccardo clay I then went to work using my 9227c with the Meguiars heavy cut wool pad + M105. The results = pathetic. The product dried up so fast and no cutting power leaving the paint with a white haze, I couldn't figure it out! Maybe I doing somerthing wrong?
I soon realized that this paint was extremely oxidized and the oxidation had gone through a fair amount of paint.
I stopped wasting my time and went straight for the wet sanding, start off with 1000grit, but it literally just didn't cut it!
The end result from just 1000 grit, the inner left side turned out pretty good but still oxidation on the outter left side...
So with poor results from the 1000- I got straight to it with 800grit!
The results were much better it cut through most of the the oxidation, I just had to be careful not to go right through the paint as there was little to spare.
The 800grit was followed by the 1000 which was then followed by M105 & Meg. heavy cut wool pad, then M205 with orange light cutting pad.
The results: much better...the paint was alive again with just some minor oxidation left behind. I didn't want to go any further as I don't have a paint gauge & would probably go right through the paint.
