Hi guys,
Just thought I’d share the fruits of my mammoth (for me) 2 day detailing session I’ve just completed on my ED30. The paint was in terrible condition thanks to the previous owner so I decided it was about time I tried to sort it out with my Megs G220 polisher. I found, as everyone says, the paint to be incredibly hard and almost impossible to remove any swirls etc. and eventually I ended up using Menz power gloss on a Menz While compounding pad (ouch!) followed by Menz final finish on a Menz orange polishing pad. This seemed to remove I’m guessing around 80% of the swirls etc. and to be honest I’m pretty scared of doing any more as I don’t have a paint depth gauge!
The full process was:
- Foam / wash / clay / dry the car
- Menz Power Gloss on an white compounding pad
- Menz FF (PO85RD) on an orange polishing pad
- AG super resin polish (to try and fill any swirls left)
- Chemical guys EZ Glaze
- Poorboys EX-P sealant
- Collinite 476S wax
- AG glass polish on the windows
- Megs endurance tyre gel on the tyres
Phew!! It was bloody hard work let me tell you!. Overall I’m pretty pleased with the results but any tips/comments/suggestions/improvements/criticisms are more than welcome! And here are the results, hope you enjoy…
