How long do you take to do multi stage correction

**poyo150** · 08-14-2016, 09:45 PM

Hey guys sorry I haven't been on for a while but I would like to ask a question. How long do you take to do a full restoration. I'm doing my 350Z and it's taking me a very long time. I'm around 4 to 5 days and in still on the compound stage. I'm almost done with compounding it and then I move to polish.

Today I went at it for a full day and didn't finish compounding. Sometimes I just want to quit because I want to drive it. I've been feeling kinda depress since summer and I haven't drove my car since my depression. Now that I'm polishing it, it is taking me longer than expected. I was planning to finish around 2-3 but it's taking longer.

The tools I'm using are
*Flex 3401
*I have use 9 cutting pat and I'm missing the fender and front bumper at this moment.
*For small places I use my Rupes longkneck nano. (I like it just need to learn more about the polisher)
*The compound I'm using is wolf gang compound

Here my 50/50

Everyone moves at their own pace, and it looks like your doing a great job. My first multistep on my car took about 4-5 days. Compounding, Polishing, Glaze, Wax, Sealent. End result? Pretty good, but still scratches here and there. I wouldn't rush it

I corrected a Black 2014 370Z in one step with HD Adapt to perfection in 5 hours.

Yours is some what more swirled but I don't think that would've made much of a difference.

Please keep in mind I did this one step polish. It can be done.

After a wash and Blackfire Carnauba Spray Wax about 4 months later.

It really depends on how the swirls are and everything else. I did my friends neglected Mazda 3 with 9 years of swirls and scratches and the entire process took about 15 and a half hours. The compounding and polishing stage alone took close to 8.

I did this 2007 big a$$ chevy truck in 8 hours.

Rupes LHR15 Gen I LC Ornage Pads FG-400 topped with Auotfinesse Sealant

Pads after ouch:

Considering this truck was never shown any love and was never detailed or washed regularly I was blown away with the results. And as far as Chevy HD 2500 this paint was cream puff to work with:

Totally swirl free in one step with FG-400

8 hours start to finish.

Note: Give the cusotmer what they ask for.

My GC spends most of the summer in the garage due to the rain in Fla. so don't feel bad. It's a 2013 with 9500 miles.

That sucks. The things that's stopping me from doing my car is me. I just lost a lot of interest on the things that make me happy.
