... well maybe not.



Hey yall,

Well I looked at my car under the sun the other day and it was embarssing. The hood looks awful. Spider webbing everywhere despite my last detail of Premium Paint cleaner, #9 and two coats of Blackfire. The part you are not going to like is that I used a Black and Decker orbital buffer. Its steady 4400 OPM and .5 amp motor are all I can afford at the moment. I do have two white CMA pads fand backing plate for a PC 7336. I have bought one twice at Lowes and have taken it back twice. I just can't bite the money bullet and buy it to keep it.

I have read alot about #80 Speed Glaze. Would I get decent results with my Black and Decker and a foam bonnet? I would like to go directly to Blackfire or #16 on a black car. Does anyone know if there are bonding issues with Blackfire? Thanks for the information guys.

wander1053- The #80 oughta work OK. Things that work by hand (#80, 1Z PP) should work fine with any kind of polisher, just slower than they would with a PC. Those products should leave a ready-to-wax finish, even on black.



BDawg- Most people, even Autopians, inflict some kind of marring when they wash/dry. Washing/drying *without* marring the paint is quite difficult if the vehicle actually gets dirty between washes, but it can be done.

Obviously the spider webbing and swirls arent embarassing enough to warrant keeping a $100 purchase so they cant be that bad. Next time you buy the PC, keep it. It will be the best detailing purchase you ever made.
