Toto could you explain your process and what pads you use when you compound/glaze/polish? On this one you said you compounded with the Meg's cutting pad I assume, then what pad do you use to apply the glaze and do you use the Meg's pads for all of the steps?
Just curious that's all. |
Nica: Sure, I'll explain.
Compounding: I use either a 3M Cutting pad or the Meguiar's #7006 pad (with the smaller backing plate on the Metabo). I'll work the paint with 3M compound, Optimum compound, or, if I need extra, the 3M Extra Cut compound. I've also used the Menzerna compound.
Polishing: Recently, I've been using the Menzerna 106FF and the Meguiar's #8006 pad on the Metabo. I haven't tried it on a black car yet, but the other colors seems to be "brighter" after polishing.
Glazing: I use 3M Glaze and the gray 3M glazing pad or the Meguiar's #9006 finish pad on the Metabo. The 3M product can be worked completely and I've tried the Menzerna Pro Series Glaze which must be buffed out with an mf towel as it leaves a haze. Both are good and add depth to the finish.
Meguiar's #26: I apply this with the Festool and a Meguiar's 9006 pad. Quick and easy.
One thing I like about the 3M pads (they are 8" pads for the DeWalt or Metabo rotary), is they last a long time and are very durable. They are very expensive compared to other foam pads ($15+ and are packaged 2 to a bag).
Hope that helps.
