Hi there!
I just thought that I would share my experience and since I actually took a picture of the result I thought I'd make a post...
Anyway, I just put my Alpina B8 in the garage for the winter and started working on the trunk...
I made a thourough detailing around midsommer this year, spent 3 days all in all with the paintjob on the car so I really thought that I wouldn't need to do that much of a job really...
Well. Shouldn't have thought that. As soon as I got the car inside I saw all the swirls! And there were millions of them!
So, I started out with my rotary and the M83 thinking that this will take quite a bit of work to get good results... especially since the last pro-detailer who handled the car said that the paint was a very hard paint...
Boy, was I surprised?!
After just the first pass with the rotary and M83 I got brilliant results! That wasn't expected at all, I would have thought that I would have to keep going at least for 3-4 passes before I would reach an acceptable level... Well, made another pass with the #83 and then topped the surface with the 2xM20..
Anways, here's the picture, i masked half of the panel to see the differences... and let me tell you: Those swirls on the right side? I wouldn't have been able to find them even if my life depended on it! However the camera gladly shows them, I better start using the camera with the flash set to highest when I detail the car (I really examined the surface thouroughly with lots of strong light)
The picture:
So, what does the experts say?
Should I start all over again on the right side to get those pesky little swirls that the camera shows or should I just be satisfied with the results? (No, I cannot take the car outside into the sun, the sun hardly shows anymore
)
