I have a Dual Action Buffer that I would like to use on my two SLs ... but I am reluctant because I really do not know the dos and don'ts along with what pads and products to use. There are a lot of products out there for the OCD types - I am not a purist, just want a nice shiny finish.
So, what are some precautions and what products do you use?
I use the porter cable DA polisher with great success. About speed 4 with this kit. It is good stuff, and color coded for the three steps from swirl/scratch removal, to sealant. About a six pack job on a cloudy day. I use it on the 107 with single stage paint, and the 129 with clear coat equally impressive.
Couple of pro detailers I know use nothing but Presta products so I have followed there
advice. Pads designed to work with each product etc. There is another product called sure-finish
that was developed by the guy who is the go-to if you want to win Pebble Beach. Only place I know that carries it is here Welcome To Autobodystore.com Tons of good info there.
Order placed at Amazon for the PC DA unit, chemical guys pads and compound sample set and Jetseal. I will test the system out a bit first on a door on my daughters 2004 Explorer that was egged which has deep damage and spotting. Will graduate next to the hard top and will finish with the 107.
I have a few injuries to the paint inflicted by a scotch brite pad, so even if this does nothing for the other cracks, the money on the equipment will be less that the cost of detailing those spots, which is fine with me. I'm
Sure hitting my 2011 and 2014 cars with polishing compound after a clay bar won't hurt them much either.
I'm not looking to do this often but it it really improves the look of my cars, I'm all in.
More to come once I get some time to try this out.
It seams that YouTube link isn't working. Go to YouTube website and search for "ammo NYC"
