Black Car and SIP Oily Residue
Spent the last couple of days working on black C6. Used SIP/PC 7424 with new orange pads and worked it in for approx 5 minutes per section. Wiped it down but car seems to have an oily sheen on it after wiping down. Obviously, surface is not condusive for applying a wax.
Does a nice job on surface as far as mild light blends. Now if I can just find a way to get remaining SIP residual oil off surface.

Never mind. Just read sticky.
Still not sure why the SIp never seemed to brake down and haze up adequately.

Sip with an orange pad will leave slight hazing. You need to finish down SIP with 106 or 85rd with a white pad and add one more step with a blue pad for jeweling down the paint. Then do an IPA wipe down, inspect in full sun before waxing/sealing.

Re: Black Car and SIP Oily Residue
Thanks for reply. Question, what compound do you use with the blue pad or do you just continue working with 106 left on car from white pad?
Sorry but what is IPA? Been using Zaino to long!

+1 for IPA wipe down. This will remove any left over oils and residues that may be hiding/filling imperfections.

Re: Black Car and SIP Oily Residue
OK, now, what about jeweling with blue pad. Can someone explain the process and with what compound?
If I have to do this again, I just want to make sure I do it right using methods/products that are new to me.
I Love my black car and I trust that the SIP and other products will give me a finish to love. Just want to get to a point where I drive it More than I wax/polish it!

Re: Black Car and SIP Oily Residue
using two much Menzerna can create issues with wipe off, use sparingly. Also use an IPA (see definition on Corvetteforum, smiling) as wanted to guage polishing ability panel by panel.

Just use your lightest cut polish with a blue pad to 'Jewel'. I use FPII
