That's some talent Richy. Did you use the wool pad on all steps of your process?

[sparkie]

That's awesome just awesome! On to 3m finishing polish to correct the wet sanding. Did you used a rotary? What pad and what speed? Same question on 106ff and fpII?
Thanks for sharing.

No, only to correct the wet sanding with the 3m

Thanks!!
Yes, I used a rotary. I used my old one that is a fixed speed at about 2300 rpm..it's pretty fast, one must be careful using it (hence the new one!;)). The 2 menzerna products were used with my new rotary at anywhere from 1000 to 2500 rpm.

Thanks, may I ask what pad and size? I have the edge2k flat and wave. I am having problems (tails) with them on my rotary, thinking about going up in size or even changing brands. They do work great with my PC.

No I don't, but astute sense of observation! When I was 21, single and living at home, I bought a 1971 Lamborghini Miura S which I owned for 3 years. I have my personalized "Lambo 1" plates still too...boy I miss that car!!

Thanks, may I ask what pad and size? I have the edge2k flat and wave. I am having problems (tails) with them on my rotary, thinking about going up in size or even changing brands. They do work great with my PC. The pads are 6" pads that I get from a local body shop supply. The wool pads are old (I haven't used them in ages) and the foam maybe from 3m, I'm not sure. The blue is for polishing, it was used for the fpII and the white was for compounding and was used for the 106ff. That combo finishes off so well that I skipped the fpII for the front air dam and some lower surfaces. I think the 106ff is my favourite product! Just keep going over it and the tails should disappear if you are using 106ff. I am looking forward to comparing the presta, i think it will be a little more aggresive than the menz, but is supposed to finish off as well..we'll see.
