Car Care and Detailing Dreams (Part 3)

[devils_smile]

I am sorry that I am quoting an old post, but here you said that you would not risk using machine on a dried paint. Can you elaborate it? what should be done before correcting the dried paint or say car which is not waxed, clayed or cleansed or rejuvenated for dnt know how much time?
Should I first use pain cleanser or paint enhancers or simply use a fine polish??

Let me put it this way. A car that has never been waxed since it gets painted, spends months in a garage or out in the sun and cleaned with our old traditional ways can ring some alarm bells when you start working on the paint. A machine polisher is considered the most hardcore of polishers and using it in such a case would mean putting the paint job at risk, especially if you don't have a lot of hours practicing with one. I obviously didn't have a paint gauge or a DA at the time so I went ahead and did the whole process by hand, taking my time (3 days to be precise) to finish the job.

A car that has never been treated, I would suggest you go with an iron out (if you have access to one), clay, paint correction, paint protection.

Do you have access to a DA? What compounds and polishes do you have? Remember, start with the least abrasive compound, see if it does the job, if it does, move on to the polish, if it does not, use a higher level of abrasive compound and so on.

Uh, by saying machine polisher u mean to say a rotary polisher?
I dont have any polisher right now, but might get soon a flex 3401 copy.
I tried to work by hand I did a test spot using polishing pal and pads and UC and UP with varying aggressive combos and multiple passes but I didnt get the satisfactory result despite being putting the time and effort. So I have left since then. And waiting to get a DA polisher and work out then.
This will be first time I will be using anything like polishern and my car's paint is already faded and poor condition as well and have no gauge meter. So I need to be very careful about the rubbing off the clear coat.

So a DA would be fine to start off with dry paint?
I think I should first nourish the paint before correcting it.
Products I have are;
PS21 paintwork cleanser
Klasse AIO
Nanoskin Hi glaze
Ultimate polish
Which one to use???

Yup, same same. I've been a little out of touch ever since I've moved outta the country so bare with me.

If you are getting your hands on a DA, I would suggest try it out on test panels or an old car you don't really care about etc. its always better to practice.

My aim for the 7 was to bring the paint back to life, and not a full correction. Obviously, the AG products have glazing capabilities so they actually did manage to hide a lot of the defects on the paint. I also glazed the paint. You can never get rid of imperfections with hand applications. The lightest of them can be fixed but that's it.

You can start off with a DA but make sure that every pass you make, the pad is wet with the product so you dont end up running a dried up pad across the paint. There are absolute tons of videos on youtube on how to start working on a panel of a car that has been neglected for ages. Those can help you out.

If you really are worried about the paint, use the paint cleanser and the glaze. i don't know if the nanoskin glaze is oil based like the meg's but it any case, it will bring some like into the paint before you get your hands on the DA and can start working on it.

Yes possibly it came from there you can use rubbing compound to remove it then wax the car. Don't know if clay bar will be of any help

There's no other option. Conpound will harm the clear coat a little bit. I am not a detailing guru. Other members suggestions might me more helpful un this regard

Get a hold of a clay bar ( or a mitt ), a detailing spray and clay the car down. You can check out HOW TO videos on youtube. A compound will not remove embedded contaminants on the paint surface. So don't bother with that until you clay the car.

A cutting compound will not "HARM" the clear coat. It's not the word you use when it comes to paint correction. Also, a compound is not what you would look upto when you are getting rid of paint contamination. I hope this clears it up for you too.
