    Question Test Spot Clarification

    When you do a test spot using a 3 step process, my understanding is that you would complete all 3 steps in your test area.
    Clarification, after achieving the desired results, you would do the whole vehicle using step 1, when complete, followed by step 2 for the whole car, and then 3.

    I have also read some people like to do all 3 steps panel by panel, if they don't have the time to do the whole vehicle.

    Thanks for your help

    Re: Test Spot Clarification

    Typically I would do all the compounding over the whole vehicle, then come back and do all the polishing. This just seems more efficient as you only have to clean up any potential 'mess' from your compounding step once, before tackling the polishing.


    But yes, for a test spot, you want to test your entire process over the 1 spot to see that your end result is on par with our expectations, then replicate that over the whole vehicle (but not necessarily all 3 steps per section)
