Black Paint...

[ryanhmusic]

Hey all quick question:

I started with totally destroyed black paint [10 years and 130,000 miles]...in New England...

Start:


Finish:


As you can see, in the finished photos -- to the right of the sun, there is some slight marring / hazing -- any recommendations on removing it?

I used M105 and M205 to clean it up well but not sure how to take the final amount of hazing out. Its super subtle but I'd like to get this as clean as possible before ceramic coating it.

What pads were used? M205 on certain paints can leave marring. There are advanced techniques for working with it, when it does this. You could also try switching to another finishing polish.

What pad did you use with the 205. Drop down to a jewling pad like a blue or a red pad from CCS

Just my opinion, but the before shot is hardly destroyed. I've seen way way way way worse. The final results look like there are still some RIDS, lots of chips and some micro marring perhaps from a cheaper quality MF rag during product removal.



IMO lots of the haze in this pic is from the camera metering and the sun, etc. Does need polished though.

HDPolish or like, even Meg's Ulimate Polish/205 or HDAdapt on a white pad would work. Careful removing product.

Follow up with the M205 medium pressure, keep the pad wet and don't run it dry. Orange pad, or white polishing pad.
Run it for about ~3 minutes per 2'-3' area
