The Kitchen Sponge Massacre!!

My Judo instructor decided to take the bugs off of his WRX the easy way...with a kitchen sponge...the green side! So here I come to the rescue, armed only with my PC and a whole lot of bottles.



Here you can clearly see the 2-inch wide track that he laid down on this blue (not black) hood.

And now after only two passes with Menzerna IP and a CMA yellow pad. You can really see the blue in this pic.

This pic is after IP, Swirl-Free Polish, No.3 Machine Glaze, and Souveran.

The whole car got a once-over with SFP and Souveran.

A big improvement! And the car was a lot of fun to work with...much less real estate than my Aurora. I had my DACP and even some No. 1 Medium Cut on hand, but didn't need either of them. I'm really settling into the Menzerna products, and my DACP is being neglected. Once I can get CarDomain to work correctly, I'll have some more pics to share.

:shocked :shocked Wow, hopefully you tossed him around the room a few times to teach HIM a lesson. :D



Great rescue with the hood. :xyxthumbs
 
That WRX is called Midnight Black for the 2002-2003 model year. It is black/dark navy blue. In most lights, it appears black, but like in the picture, sometimes it looks blue.



The 2004 Black is a black green instead of the black blue.
 
Man i really need to learn how to use my menzerna after looking at those pics, how long did you work in the IP.
 
My tip is to LIGHTLY moist the pad (not the surface). A light spritz with a sprayer will do... put a little Menz (and I mean little) then work on it at relatively high speed with moderate pressure, then ease off till it literally sqeaks when you wipe the residue off...



I love my Menz.
 
simon, I usually give my pad a few quick squirts of distilled water, lay on a bit of IP and spread it around with the machine off. I start at about 3.5 on the PC just to get the IP evenly spread around the whole area I am working, then kick it up to about 4.5 and apply moderate pressure on the PC. I usually don't have to work the product for more than a minute for it to break down for me, sometimes a little longer. Then I turn the PC up to five and let the machine "glide" on the surface with no pressure. After about 30 seconds of that, I'm ready to hit it with some 50/50 Alcohol-Water and see what kind of progress I've made.
