First time detailed on Black Teana

[tommy]

Hi, I'm not a pro but since i got all stuffs product from AG month ago, I ready to details on my nissan black teana. This car is two year old. I just want to test only on the hood to learn and practics my skill on the product that i have before going to polish the whole car.

Here is what i did

Product use:
1.UDM
2.Menszerna IP, FP and Gloss (some with SSR2.5)
3.CCS 6.5' and 4' Oragne and white pad, Edge2K Orange, Blue pad


Process:
1.Washed with the megurie car wash
2.Clayed on the hood with meguire clay
3.Inspection swirl under the sun & hylogen spot ligth
4.Setup the UDM+Menz IP+CCS orange pad spread them on speed 3
5.Cutting in speed 5 move very slow, dust off
6.Incress to speed 6 move very slow, dust off


I thought a swirl on the hood just medium mark but seem it more heavy and i dont have a menz compound or SSR3, so i have to passed it with IP many time to remove it. I can removed it but still have a small swirl then I change
to the CCS 6.5' white pad+Menz FP but i dont see any result to move a small swirl with the white pad since i felt a vibration with the it and i stop working (this is first time i use the white pad think some thing wrong with it).

So i back to use a orange pad+menz IP again and working as much as i can do until satisfied with the result and stop working...

Overall, I happy with the UDM, CCS pad, and Menzerna. I got the best result from them, the Menzena is very good. But just thinking of how to reduce my work time since it took me around 4hrs only on the hood

Here is some pics on the hood sorry if too much of pics , I will finish the whole car and will update soon
Any comment, suggestion welcome

Looks great...looking foward to trying the Menszerna on my black car when I get it this week.

Looking great!

I know what you mean about menzerna, incredible polish!

I ran it over the hood of my swirled out black mustang with orange pad using the UDM and saw such an improvement (basically, all the swirls were gone bar one), I'm looking forward to doing a second pass with IP polish using a white pad, then finishing off with the other 2 polishes that came with the set but that's going to have to wait until the weekend

here's a quick question for you "pro detailers" : is the Menzerna IP Polish likely reducing clearcoat depth using the Orange pad, or just straight evening out the sharp edges of the swirls to make them disappear

What a nice and glossy finish you have there. Really clear up those swirls. Really nice and the color of the paint is magnificent. Awesome.

thanks for comments to everyone.

BigFloppy: you asked good question. as my understand Menszerna+Orange pad just reduce a litle bit layer of clearcost and they will level the edge of the swirl flat.

I belive someone here will be explain on deep details.
