If and when we do a Live Broadcast we usually promote it a week ahead of time and you'll see me mention it at the bottom of the forum homepage plus in the actual sign-up thread.
Haven't seen much in the way of "discussion" in the last few we did nor any requests for any in the future.
Hello-
I was approached by my boss to do her 07 MB S Class with C040 paint. It has some light scratches on the hood and oxidation as its an unmaintained DD. Will something like BFTPS on a white pad on a GG6 clean it up?
Im not aiming for 90% but I do want to make it look nice
thank you

The Blackfire Total Polish and Seal is a one-step cleaner/wax and I wouldn't try to use a one-step cleaner/wax to remove defects or maintain a Ceramiclear finish.
Get the Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover and Finishing Glaze. Then seal with a non-cleaning wax or paint sealant.
Don't skimp on abrasive technology
The paint is already too thin from the factory in my opinion.
This was my first job with ceramic clear. This is a Mercedes benz C class imported from Germany.Client told me car have a ceramic clear & Car was buffed by some body else before I detail it. As you guise told I have used foam pad with Meguiar's Dual action polish but it didn't work out so I moved ahead and used wool pad with meguiar's Diamond cut on a small portion. It worked great. I am also uploading a before after image of car's trunk-lid. I don't know weather I did right or wrong but client liked the car. Was there anything else that I can do?

Looks god
To be honest there is no right or wrong while doing this job, All paints I treated them differently because what may works in one car doe not mean will dictate how to correct a specific type of paint. You do what needs to be done to get it done!!!!!

I've used M83 for years, probably decades and it's a quality polish but you would have to use it with a foam cutting pad to get good cutting action out of it, especially with a DA Polisher.
I don't think you mentioned what type of tool you're using? My guess is a rotary buffer.

Yep... sounds like you're using a rotary buffer since you said you used a wool pad with M85 Diamond Cut Compound.

Hope you re-polished with something less aggressive than the compound and the wool pad and even switched to a dual action polisher or my guess is you left holograms all over the paint on this Mercedes-Benz.
