  • M85,M80 and Carnauba wax

    Just wont to no if this would be suitable to use on a very bad bad swirled black 4X4 ?? M85,M80 and Carnauba wax
    sorry no pictures at moment it dose not turn up till next week
    Would this give me a very clear image ??
    or would you recommend another approach to use
    This 4X4 would have to be the worst looked after wagon i have seen yet
    The owner wants to give it a big birthday
    Now that is everything on the outside glass,plastic and alloy bull-bar
    This will be a 2 day job i reckon
    If it turns out right there will be more things in the pipeline to polish
    All the info will be much appreciated

    Thankyou

      From what I read on this site, #85 is for use with a wool pad and #84 is for a foam pad. Both are used with a rotary. IMO, if #84 is recommended for removing wet sanding marks, this system will work fine for your job. I would use #84 with a rotary and foam cutting pad, #80 with a rotary and foam polishing pad, #80 again with a PC and foam polishing pad, and finally a wax/sealer.

          M85 with a wool pad and an ocilating sander is going to be very very abrasive.

          M84 is quite a bit stonger than M83, yet M84 is still a lot safer and also a foam pad is going to be a lot safer than M85 in that it has less power. Also consider using a DACP if you can.

          Unless you have very very hard paint, M84, DACP, and Foam Pad is the strongest you should be going too.

          I have used a G-100 with M83 and the 8000 series pad. I have not needed to go stronger than this.

            Good point on the #83. If you are good with a rotary I believe #84 will work fine and it will be faster. If you are nervous then stick with a lighter compund which will give you more time before damage occurs.
