First Correction Attempt - Meguiars DA Microfiber Correction System

[cebo0650]

Just joined the forums a day ago after receiving my first shipment of stuff from AG. I purchased:

- Meguiars DA Microfiber Correction System
- Meguiars Dual Action 6 Inch Polisher G110v2
- Klasse AIO

My plans is to wash and clay the car then proceed to the Meguiars D300 DA Microfiber Correction Compound. I was also planning on skipping the Meguiars D301 DA Microfiber Finishing Wax and applying Klasse AIO right after the correction compound. Lastly I was planning on finishing with a nice coat of wax.

Any flaws in my plan? Suggestions are very welcome, tons of experts here who I'm sure can teach me a lot.

If your car is the Audi in your avatar, that should be fine. Needing a finishing polish after D300 entirely depends on the paint, hard or soft, etc. If it looks good to you, then proceed to the Klasse.

Not the new generation C7 A6 like in the avatar, but the C6 A6. Here is a picture of my car:



A few of the panels have been repainted (years ago). Would that be a concern?

Audi paints are generally on the hard side. I think the D300 and straight to Klasse and top it with wax would look fine, especially in that color.

The DA correction system was designed for OEM factory paint. But I have done it on cars that have been repainted with good results. You might need a finishing polish to remove any hazing from the D300. The repainted panels might be softer than the original hard Audi paint.

Why didnt you go with foam pads? Heavy defects???

No heavy defects, just minor swirls from improper washing by the previous owner. I'm a total noob when it comes to machine polishing and it looks like the DA Microfiber system is easy to use while minimizing the chances of creating more swirls/holograms. This is just seemed like the safest place to get started.

The D301 is a finishing polish with wax as I understand. Would it make sense to start with D300, follow with D301, then Klasse and lastly wax? Or would that be like applying Klasse over wax and then applying wax again?

I have heard from meguiars to not use the system too much as it is very abrasive. Try to stick with UC and the pads you use as most of the defects are thinned out

Sorry, what do you mean by UC?

UC is Meguiars Ultinate Compound.
