Black Viper GTS Help!!!

[Dr_Pain]

Here is an example of a DA haze "micro marring" on a soft paint after a relatively light compounding



The fix was actually SF4000 on a white pad on the Rupes 21 (larger throw)



End results:

I finally figured it out.... I used my PC 7424 for the 2nd step and it turned out great.
but my problem now is that I went over it with CG Black Light using a red LC CCS pad and once i removed the wax i had buffer trails in the paint.
I do not know what i did wrong on this step, I am LOST!!!
I have never had a car that gave me soo many problems.
Any suggestions on what to do?

Did you apply it with the Porter Cable?

Welcome to the nightmare of DA haze/aka micromarring.

You mentioned first the pink pad. Funny those pink, and even the green one's there that fall between the orange and white on the Lake Country scale. The pink is fairly firm, yet the green is crazy soft, yet has more cut than even a white pad. Of course they are both CCS pads.

Might be you need a flat version or perhaps even the constant pressure would be good to try. They're pretty cool to work with because the face is still consistent firmness but the backing on the pads allow them to flex a bit better.

Another thing on CCS pads is a lot of guys really don't like them with a DAT product. Having (newer) product continually being deposited on the surface, whilst trying to break down existing product is a known problem (especially when trying to finish down softer paints).

Funny enough though that typically Vipers have been known to have paint towards the harder side of things, (like at least 8 out of 10). It's these new black ones though that seem to go the other direction. I know I have a buddy that had a 09 red one and that paint was safely hard enough to not have to worry with. But his 14 black one is a totally different animal.

Black light has some abrasives in it. I would have avoided that product once you got the finish done given the trouble you've had finishing up. One of their pure cream glazes like EZ Creme or glossworkz glaze would be better if you're set on a CG product.
