Good morning all...
I'll keep this concise folks... 40 miles on this one
My boss owns a Chevy dealership... a few... opened a detailing spa for us really and it's been great... slow to go but great...
first of the week they ask us to fix a bodyshop car... a 2018 Camaro. It had such bad etching on the horizontal panels that they had to repaint them all...
safe to say it looked horrible... like they drove through the woods with barbed wire wrapped around them... pics should be attached...
the thing is, it's the oldest car on their lots... 587 days old... they said just make it better but are now asking if it can go in the showroom to really try and sell... well...
i can't seem to get 100% of the scratches out... i've hit it 3x with various compounds and pads and can get almost perfect but not perfect...
is the idea to just keep compounding if we have enough clear, which in this case seems to be 10.5-11.5 mil on the horizontals and 4.5-6.5 on the sides... so it seems there is plenty to work with... but wow...
we have 2 of the gg6, boss 15, makita po500c and the ibrid nano short neck...
i've tried Menzerna HC400, Shine Supply Hard Clear Compound, D300, Fast Correcting Cream... used UroFiber and Lake Country Microfiber and even a purple wool made for the forced rotation from LC... nothing seems to remove all scratches...
so should i just adjust my expectations?... lol
4-6 passes typically, with what i think is medium pressure... speed 5 1/2 or 5 usually on the GG6...
I've not thrown the M105 at it yet?... the Boss microfiber with D300 did seem to do okay when he sprung it on me last night they'd like it for the show room... ha ha ha!...
any suggestions on how to better tackle this or simply say this is what you get?....
thanks so much in advance....
peace
Ryan
