Detailing Thread [For Newbies][ARCHIVED]

The results after buffing the damaged parts was









Not too bad considering that its no longer that much noticeable and from afar you can barely see it

Too bad i can't do anything for the bottom fiberglass part since the scratch is already too deep, that part got scratched with the tricycles reinforcement bar the same one that actually punctured my fiberglass in the earlier pictures i posted.

Procedures i did was

1. Wash the car with BB shampoo
2. Remove asphalt using kerosene
3. Re-wash the car with BB shampo
4. Clay the car using soft99 dark clay
5. Re-wash the car using NXT shampoo
6. Rinse the car
7. Dry the car using Microtex Elite
8. Tape the non painted parts

Step 1 - LC yellow pad, misted with Megs Last Touch for priming, and Megs 85 Diamond Cut

Step 2 - LC yellow pad, misted with Megs Last Touch for priming, and Megs 84 Compound Power Cleaner

Step 3 - SM Arnolds Cool It Green polishing pad, misted with Moms Showtime, and Megs 83

Step 4 - SM Arnolds Cool It Black finishing pad, primed with Megs 80 Speed glaze spread thinly all over the pad, and Megs 80 Speed glaze

Picture of pads, my LC yellow curved is already worn down this is nearing its end and would have to be replaced really soon, on the picture also is SM Arnolds Cool It Green Polishing Pad, its a very nice cheap alternative if you don't want to spend as much for Megs and LC 8 inch pads



And this is the wp1300 with the included velcro backing plate



Sorry for the really crappy grammar and spelling, i know i've made a lot of typographical errors, im so tired after detaling my car, i've been detailing since 1am and stopped at around 5am and im already sleepy i just want to finish all these posts since i'll be busy being my uncle and auntie's chaperone for the next 2 weeks

Ok thats it for now, im going to hit the hay stack
