Hello from the UK
I now have the following kit, mostly from AG, and this is my first PCing attempt:
-PC
- LC CCS Pads (6.5 & 4 inch) Orange,White,Black,Blue
- Poor Boy's SSR 2.5 & SSR1
- Megs #7 glaze
- Duragloss 652,601,111,105
- ClearKote Moose carnauba wax
I plan to clay the car then start polishing, starting with the white pads and the SSR1 although I am not expecting much on BMW paint. The paint is in good condition but obviously has swirls on it. The SSr2.5 and LC white polishing pad could be a good combo. When I am done polishing I would like to do the following in this order:
- glaze with Megs #7 (Black Pad)
- use the durgaloss bonding agent 601 (by hand and not buff)
- Duragloss sealant 111 (blue Pad)
- Duragloss sealant 105 (blue Pad)
- A week later do ClearKote Moose carnauba wax (blue Pad)
I think the Duragloss bonding agent 601 will strip the #7. So I think i will put this after the sealant., then top up with wax. Is this a correct assumption ?
My glass , particularly the windscreen, is not at its best. I would like to PC this, should I use the SSR2.5 or a duragloss paint cleaner 652 on this ?. What about headlights ?
I also have chip stones on my bonnet. I don't want to tackle these now. Can I polish over them normally ? or should I tape them up ?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
