| | | PC/UDM + Menz SIP + No clear coat = ???
Ok, so after a little bit of research, my GF's miata has no clear on it. Would the SIP be harmful to the paint?? Should i just i just hit it with the nano?
The only thing is that the swirls are too much for the nano, but im afraid of damaging the paint with the SIP. |

| | | you should have no problem with SIP on non-clear coated paint. My car is single staged black and the SIP works like any other polished I've used.
btw, i used the SIP with a rotary. |

| | Unfortunately, that's the case when you're working with a single stage paint, and a polish/pad that cuts  |

You really need to stop thinkin CC/paint is so thin that you will where it away by lookin at it. You have alot to learn about paint correction.

Thats the case with ANY painted surface if your using very aggressive methods and not using any common sense. |

| | | It is no diffrent than polishing a CC'd car. The paint will be thicker on a Single stage car, so you can polish it like normal. You will remove paint (just like removing clear). You will no go through it unless you try. Treat it like any normal CC'd car and go at it.

| | | I would have to agree with coupe and greg'sgoat, just becuase there is no clear coat dosen't mean you cant treat it like you do the vehicle with clear coat. So far I've only done one vehicle with out clear coat and I just did what I normally do with any other vehicle. It actually tourned out that I didn't have to go too agresive and was quite easy to remove the swirls/scratches. | | |
