    Spot correction of Guards Red Porsche

    I'm in need of some advice. I have an area on my rear deck that is marred but have no idea how it happened. I hit it with Megs UP but that didn't do anything except make it shiny. I'm reluctant to try anything too aggressive on it because I understand it's pretty soft so anyone have experience with Guards red?

    I haven't been able to get a real clear photo of the problem. I'll try to change up the lighting and see what I get.

    Evan, nice job on the Cayman. I'm not familiar with the product you used, how does it compare to say, m105?

    Nowhere near the cut of M105, HD Adapt would have the cut similar to Megs Ultimate Compound, but finishes like a fine polish. Where as UC would NOT finish down like a polish, especially not on soft paint. Its very pad dependant, so you can adjust its cut level by using different pads. For your Porsche, I recommend a green B&S pad with HD Adapt.

    Re: Spot correction of Guards Red Porsche

    I don't have guards red but mine is black (991), which is generally more soft and I can tell you that Menzerna SF4500 will be your best friend when it comes to finish out. I was getting marring with most other finishing polishes and once I used 4500, the paint was perfect. I paired it with Lake Country HydroTech pads (crimson) and it's a combination that I continue to use today. I still haven't found anything better.
