    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Just finished what is looking to be the last wash of the season up here in Minnesota.

    Washed with Carpro Reset then used Carpro Ech2o with a hint of Kamikaze Overcoat.

    Offsetting some of the cost of all my gear with a paid detail this afternoon.



    Due to the pandemic, this vehicle hasn't been traveling as much, making my job a bit easier today.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?



    Extreme Solutions LVR 369 Trifecta
    Microfiber cutting pad on a MaxShine 15mm DA

    I did some test areas with four different pads and the 5” LC cutting pad yielded the result I was looking for.

    White is a mixed blessing. It looks cleaner to the average eye, but is more challenging to actually clean and correct! I’m using multiple light sources to check my work, and it’s a bear. This one is definitely a learning detail for me.

    Question:

    I was expecting the microfiber cutting pad to leave behind a haze, but so far I haven’t seen any. LVR 369 is a compound-polish-seal product. Perhaps it’s preventing hazing from the pad? Or would haze only occur from
    using a rotary? Thanks.

    With harder paint like VW, white paint and a product that finishes down nice you will get very little, sometimes no haze when using a microfiber pad.

    I was attempting some additional paint correction on my brother's Rav4 when this happened. This pad was new and not from another vendors in Autogeek. Lesson learned. What did you do today, in regards to detailing?-20201011_152521-jpg

    Were you using a 5" pad with a 6" plate, or is it just the picture that is deceiving?
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Well, it came out pearl-white, and the owner is pleased.
    I would’ve like to seen more paint correction out of it. But this car is taken to a car wash every couple weeks, so I had to manage my expectations.
