Got this back up off my mate mitch a couple weeks ago,was pretty marked up from water and salt damage on the trip to the Ultimate Dubs show in the UK in March where he debuted his car. He'd tried to fix but wasnt having much luck. I tried a couple spots with a couple products to get an idea of where to start. Unfortunately my phone downtime meant ive no pics off the early stages but basically I stuck a circular microfibre on a meguiars DA and burned some electricity and ill bore you with details........
I started off with Alu belgom and ran over it a few times which reduced Mitches DA holograms slightly but added finer swirls. Tried a patch with stage 1 zeppelin but it wasnt tough enough to remove the Alu swirls so made up a watered down mixture of Alu Belgom with the Zeppelin,roughly 2/5th alu belgom,3/5ths zep and a dash of mikes own stuff.
fitted another circular pad on the DA then wrapped that with a microfibre cloth and taped it loosely round the head and went over it three times with the mixture changing the pad/cloth each time and wiping it down by hand inbetween. Also I topped up the mixture inbetween with only first stage zeppelin to further cut down the Alu belgom content........
to this result
fresh circ pad and cloth and neat 1st stage zeppelin,wiped down with a fresh cloth and zeppelin inbetween two passes,wiping down after the second pass
wiping down with a fresh dry cloth
hand buffing with a soft microfibre
finished stage 1off the 'neat' zeppelin
stage 2 zeppelin,fresh pads and cloth,2 passes again
wiped down,fresh cloth with 2nd stage
buffed off
coat of cleanser wax as a couple pores seemed to be bleeding
machined that off with the DA and 2nd stage,wiped down by hand and buffed off
Tried to get a picture to show close up reflection
camera phone on full zoom about an inch off
No real progress on the car(new tyres arrived,more adaptors ordered,still on self imposed limp mode till the head gasket is fixed)so filled in with some work stuff
hell yeh. Nice work squire!
