Menzerna PO106FF And A Corvette...

[storm2313]

I tried this polish to remove swirls from my 03, and it did appear to bring shine and clarity but I still have light to medium swirls.. I have been using the LC CCS orange and white pads after conditioning them with a spray of Meguiars Ultimate Detailer and using my Vector rotary in between the 1000-1500 RPM range with no more than the machines weight as pressure..

I understand the clearcote on a vette is very hard and was wondering if I should use more pressure on the rotary or step up to a more agressive polish such as SIP? I also have a yellow CCS pad but believe it would be too agressive.. I appreciate any suggestions..

Specific Paint types / Polish and Foam Pad Combinations:

a) Dark or Soft Paint Finishes - PO 85 RD 3.01 Super Intensive Polish (F) black or dark coloured paint surfaces, and 'soft' paint - 1200 RPM -White primary (softer less dense foam (70 PPI) with a light abrasive cutting action ) LC CCS foam pad followed by a secondary Blue finishing (very soft 100 PPI) LC CCS foam pad - 1100 RPM

b) Light / Medium Paint Correction - Power Finish (PO203S) and PO 85 D3.01 polishes (LC White / LC Blue foam pads 1000 RPM) should be all you need.

c) Paint Renovation - PO S34A Power Gloss (LC Purple wool pad 1500 – 1800 RPM) it has a short work time slow cut but tends to ‘dust’

most Vettes need SIP prior to 106FF or 106FA which act like finishing polishes to jewel the paint as you have seen already.

I would go with some SIP and a green or white pad. An orange pad and vette clear really don't work well together. Then finish up with 106FF on a blue pad.
