Pictures from Meguiar's 7/11 Thursday Night Open Garage
We started the night off addressing some deep scratches from improper removal of a couple bird droppings. We immediately assessed the scratched needed to be sanded. We used 3M Trizact 3000 followed by 5000 on a festool pneumatic random orbtial. It is much less invasive to sand using a random orbital d/a machine with the proper foam backing, along with the proper foam backed automotive sand papers, than by hand. In general we do not recommend getting more aggressive than 3000 grit.
A Pontiac Trans Am w/ 230,000 miles was next. We used M110 Ultra Pro Speed Compound on our DFC5 Soft Buff D/A Foam Cutting Disc, followed by M210 Ultra Pro Finishing Polish on our DFP5 Soft Buff D/A Foam Polishing Disc. Later we would use the car to demonstrate Hybrid Ceramic Wax.
Next was a 2008 GTI. D166 Ultra Polishing Wax to the rescue.
Not bad at all for a One Step Cleaner Wax!
Pete always seems to have some headlights to restore. 3m Trizact 1000 followed by 3000, then M105 on a rotary to remove sanding marks, followed by our Keep Clear Headlight Coating.
Thanks everyone for coming out! See you next month!
