First of all, a big thanks to Andre from AG Customer Service...Synergy is an amazing wax...my customers are amazed with the final results
Moving on to the car...this is a 2012 Bentley Continental GT covered in swirls and scratches. Being a low mileage car...the condition of the paintwork is not good at all.
By examining the paint condition, I can tell that 2 things happened...bad polishing attempt and improper washing techniques/equipment.
Car was washed using a foam canon, CarPro merino wash mitt and a lot of care. Cracks and crevices brushed carefuly as well.
Paintwork thickness readings were very decent, at least on horizontal surfaces. Front fender surprised me with very low readings (80 to 90 mícrons).
The owner told me that this car has never been resprayed, so I assumed that the variation was related to the painting process at the factory or some areas were over polished in the past.
Being a very soft paint, I tried the least agressive method and ended up with this plan:
- Compound: SONAX Perfect finish, Festool 11000
- Machine: Flex 3401 VRG, Flex KOMPACT
- Pad: Buff and Shine yellow and white pads.
Both compounds worked great. Has been a long time since last time I used Sonax PF...what a great product. Cuts and finishes really nice. Festool 11000 is another great compound. Like to finish with it...it has a good first bite but reduces gradually leaving a very nice finish. Panels were IPA'd thoroughly...so no masking for sure.
Tight spots were treated with a 2" pad via Flex KOMPACT.
Pinnacle Black SYNERGY applied by hand.
Easy On...Easy Off
Hope you guys enjoy it.
