4) Wash again & quick dry w/ water blade & MF



2:POLISH:

The car I will be detailing the most is a silver BMW, but I would like the products to yeild good results on dark color cars for family detaling.thx. also, as far as the PC goes its still in the mail so if any one has tips as far as what pads and speeds to use for these different applications please share...
 
EUROTECH,



You should check out Meg's #16 out for a topper on silver! It really leave a wet and reflective appearance. Here is a pic.

~One man’s opinion / observations ~



I like Klasse or NXT on silver metallic (trying Wolfgang this week-end)



Durofoam Pads From Classic Motoring Accessories (These pads require a six-inch, Velcro Backing Plate

VP-6) a 6.5" Pad size with a 6" backing plate provides a 1/4" all round clearance. The oversized foam pad isolates the backing plate from contact with the car's surface, so you can work without fear of damaging the finish with an exposed backing plate.



Colour Cutting Speed (OPM) Use For

Action



White Light 3.5 - 4.5 Polishing, Pre-Wax



Yellow Medium 4.0 - 5.5 Machine Polish, Compound, SMR



Grey None 3.5 - 4.0 < Finishing, Final Buffing



Wool Levelling 5.9 – 6.0 Levelling or used under a bonnet



~Hope this helps~



Experience unshared; is knowledge wasted…/

I'd sure pick the 1Z polish, and I'd use their Metallic after the paint polish. Then apply UPP to the Metallic.



I wouldn't top THAT combo, myself, but if you really want to, I too recommend Meg's #16.

Can you go straight from 1Z MP to UPP?:nixweiss



Thought you need a base, e.g. UPC or AIO before applying UPP. Not sure though ... haven't ever worked with UPP.
