I had the same issue on my car with almost the same color. I would stay away from using anything that is aggressive at this point. I used the carpro spot remover after trying about 3 different OTC...
I'm still learning all this stuff and only completed several cars but IMO this is not a good plan.
SF4500 is more like a jeweling process and is used for final polish for extreme gloss and then you...
One thing I would check is take the backing plate off and see if it looks like the rivets on the back of BP are rubbing on the 7424. For someone new to using a 7424 I doubt you are pressing to hard...
It seems like you did things like others here and they had good results. I'm thinking more along the lines of......the MF that you used could have had something on it that opti-lens didn't like. I'm...
Do you have the washer between the BP and spindle installed. The washer keeps the bp from binding into the spindle and if you forget to put it on the PC can over heat. Take your BP off and look at it...
I would be careful doing this if your just using a round 7mm washer. I tried the same thing and when buffing a car I noticed small metal shavings on the hood. Took the backing plate off and found...
It's a 2009 Maxima It has opti coat on it now. I got the car used with 23k miles a few months ago and did about a 90% correction before applying opti coat. It had some rids and scratches that I...
Yes I check about 20 spots on the hood all in the 65-70 micron range. Could it be(I'm not even sure if it is) but could it be the hood is made of some different material and giving me wacky readings.
I got me a cheep CTG compared to some out there off ebay for $125. The one I got is Nicetu model cm8801FN if anybody wants to look it up. It came with 4 shims 50, 100, 280, and 450 microns. The first...
I only wash my car..... but I use optimum power clean 5:1 or 10:1 take it to a car wash spry opc insert $1.50 in machine and use High pressure water to clean it and dry it off with ONR. Works great...
I've never done a boat or car for money yet but the OP said he spent 75 hours. At $250 bucks that's less than $4 an hour. I'd say $1000-$1500 would be more like it with that many hours. Maybe more
They turned out great. My car has opti-coat on it and I've tried to use OPC on the bugs on the front.....like a presoak before hitting it with HP water and it works great. I'm just wondering if DR G...
I'm looking at getting a Rupes polisher. I'm not sure if I should go with the 15mm or 21mm. Let's say both have 5" bp what would you go with. Feed back please To me it looks like most are going with...
Truck looks great and not much you can do to it for a month or more to make it look better. Talk about a garage...man....nice, nice, nice. What's next polish all the black tiles to a mirror finish to...
what about the Chemical Guys - Merino Wool DUST MONSTER. there are youtube videos on it and I believe that I read some good things about it here on autogeeks. Anyone here have or have used on of...
I haven't spent much time using MF towels....but the other day I read or seen a video where they said that a wet/damp MF towel works better than a dry one. I actually think I seen a video and they...
I guess you could take the small attachment used on the vacuum that is used to go between the seats, take a small brush that is used to clean the pads and cut the handle off the brush and glue it to...
I'm no opti-coat expert but want to share what I have learned doing about 1 1/2 cars. Don't over think the process...it's simple and just keep it at that. Here is a good video of the speed and motion...
I can say up to about a week ago I wondered the same thing with regards to doing a presoak. A few months ago I removed all the swirls on my car and put a coat of opti-coat on it. I don't wash the car...
