Hey all,
I decided to test out my 6" Megs MF Cutting Discs on my brother's 2004 Grand Marquis. I didn't follow the guidelines of least aggressive approach first, as I wanted to test out these pads, and also, the paint is clearly in bad shape.
The car has been kept on the streets of Chicago during its whole life, and from the looks of the pain, it looks like it was washed with a scouring pad (really, i think it is messed up from putting cardboard boxes on the car. I just wanted some feedback on how much correction i should try to obtain - I wanted to try for a high correction level, just for practice, knowing that the car is just going to get beat up again. I do not have access to a paint thickness gauge. I just dont want to get too greedy and rip through the clearcoat After doing 3-4 passes with firm pressure, followed by 3 passes with light pressure. PC 7424XP, Megs MF Cutting Pads, Meg's UC (I later finished it with Green CCS and Megs UP to get rid of some hazing).
