Re: Training day - black Mazda MX-5 Convertible
Work with varnish started from a few attempts. First Sonax Perfect Finish PROFILINE on an Urban yellow pad with Flex 3401. The effect was far from ideal and I knew at that moment that awaits us two staged correction. After a few more attempts with Rupes 15, Flex 3401, Flex PE14-2-150, wool, foam and MF pads we chose the following sets:
Cutting (3 people at the same time):
1) Rupes 15 and Rupes Mini with Rupes green, yellow pads with Rupes Zephir compound.
2) Flex 3401 with various pads (Urban white, Urban Honey orange, Sonus white and yellow) with Megiuar's M101 mixed with Meguiar's D300.
Finishing:
1) Flex 3401 and Rupes Mini with CG HexLogic black pads with Sonax PROFILINE Perfect Finish.
Finishing with rotary did not work - varnish disliked this machine, even Polish Angel Escalate lotion on a black soft pad made a light holograms.
I was afraid of cutting with the use of a rotary machine due to the very thin paint - as seen in the pictures above. Additionally I realized experimentally several times already that cutting with Rupes goes faster because you need to do fewer steps.
MF pads and wool pads (LC purple) cut it just a little better than foam pads but created a big mess. Another intermediate step was needed then before the finish.
After correction, which took us about seven hours the car was again washed with a strong foam, then Eraser wipe down and we proceeded to finishing. Washing windows, polishing exhausts and of course protection.
Windows: ShowCarShine Titanium Glass Guard
Rims: Wolf's Chemicals Rim Shield
Tires: Shiny Garage Back2Black
Paint, lights and trims: Naviwax Ultimate
And here, unfortunately, made it felt very high humidity (over 80%) in the garage. The wax did not want to leave the paint and unfortunately we had the so-called "dancing holograms" - something that looks like a small hologram, but changing the location after wiping with MF. In more normal conditions Naviwax wipes perfectly, but not this Saturday. This problem is not serious because after a few hours everything disappears, but it is annoying when you just want to do the final photo session: (

Looks great now, huge turn around!
I see you used the 303 cleaner for the top. If you didn't already know, you can dilute it to get more out of each bottle without losing much strength. I use it all the time for cleaning boat canvas and only use it full strength for the dirtiest moldiest canvas.
