That shot of the fender directly after the before shot was after 3 passes and that very minor haze.....cleared up in 3 very fast passes with a white polishing pad. I didn't track the compounding time but I'm not at all exaggerating if I state that Clear Cut saved me 1hr over the entire car. Less compounding and less polishing time overall.
Pad wise, yes the purple and blue wool have been my go-to for compounding. At the end of the day, I no longer use anything but. The goal of using the least aggressive to me applies but the reality is so long as you cut through the swirls and level it out, it really makes no difference if you're using an medium cut foam pad and 6-8 passes or a wool pad and half as many passes as you end up at the same finishing point/goal. One still has to follow it up with a polish for best results so that's the process I now follow for cars that are medium to heavily swirled out.
I'll be sure to let him know. Not sure what his plans are. He had the wheels put on the day before so he may not have sourced new center caps yet. I know he'll be replacing these for sure.
I tried to PM you but the mailbox is full, who makes Clear Cut?

Where did you get the purple and blue wool pads from?

Re: Hell has a G8 GT and it's HOT!
Is that the Clear Cut or the wool pads that allows you to remove such bad swirls in just three passes?
And one more thing,, it's March, take down the Christmas lights ;)

Lake Country. I buy them from various places based on pricing and deals in motion at the time of purchase.

IMO compounds and products come first as they are what's contacting the finish. Pads come next in-line in terms of cutting and finishing. In this case, both. I'm sure Clear Cut would do well with a foam pad, but to me it really makes no difference as I'm going to polish afterwards and the level of clarity with Clear Cut and wool is really spectacular. I don't say that lightly either. It really was a huge time saver on this one. Can't wait to do the next vehicle in need with it.

Took them down today. :) Had to wait for the ground to dry out after so so many days of rain. I tried last week but the ladder just sunk into the ground by the front windows and was just too unstable.
Re: Hell has a G8 GT and it's HOT!
Outstanding results right there. :props:
I'm not 100% of the specs of this G8 GT but at a guess its a Holden Calais here in NZ.
I too have been impressed with Clear Cut, the way it cuts & definitely the way it finishes down. Also a fan of the Hybrid foamed wool pads fro Lake Country too. Super nice turn around on this, a great colour indeed, fantastic work & thank you for sharing. :props:

^ Aaryn, G8 GT was Holden Commodore VE SS if memory serves me correct. ^

Great job and the color of that paint is amazing. I love some of the darker read paints on cars these days.

Agree on the reds today. I was looking at a Sunrise Red Metallic for my Q50 because of the sparkle but I couldn't pull myself away from black. Dark Blue metallics are awesome too.
Re: Hell has a G8 GT and it's HOT!
One heck of a car from the long lost Holden factory. Nice work on turning that around!
