Hi all,
Today i tried 'cover passes' after the first stage of cleaning the paint with #83 with the polishing pad on a rotary..
The problem is that, i am not so sure that i did it right after reading or even searching for more info on this forum.. so it was just for the sake of trying it out and see what the outcome was..
Im working on a friends mk6 Golf GTI clear coat.. there's light swirls and hologram/buffer trails on the finish.
Working under the halogen spotlight.. im able to finish about 90% perfect..
So what i did for this cover pass step was, buff each panel dry without applying any product.. with uniform surface in mind..
Checked the surface under the halogen light, just minor random scratches but and an improvement in overall gloss under normal lighting condition..
Is this correct or am i wasting my time instilling light random scratches?
edit: and im planning to go with #80/polishing pad/rotary to follow up and #80/finishing pad/DA, NXT 2.0/finishing pad/DA.
Please advise. thanks.
