So while working on a Ferrari 430 the past couple of days, one thing utterly shocked me…after all, we continually learn something new everyday, every job!<\/p>\n

With\u00a0my D\/A, I set it on the usual speed 6 and started working out a game plan with a test section.\u00a0 You use a test section to figure out what steps are needed to achieve the desired results.\u00a0 Sometimes you think it’s a long day and a three step needed, but in the test section, you figure out a two step process that will give you similar results!\u00a0 You just saved yourself time and product!<\/p>\n

Anyway, what I learned was slowing down and making slower paced movements (both in DA speed, and arm speed) really made a much needed difference.\u00a0 The damage to this car’s paint was pretty bad,\u00a0 and I started out with the MF system and D300<\/a>, but that wasn’t providing enough cut for the the damage on this paint.\u00a0 So, I jumped up to megs 105<\/a> and surbuf pad<\/a> and that was leveling the paint, but leaving it far too\u00a0marred up to clean up with just two more steps if I wanted max gloss.\u00a0 I would have had to go with a heavy polish 2nd step, then a medium polish 3rd step, then a light polish 4th step…not what I had the time, or the desire to do!\u00a0 I tried switching to an orange pad and 105 and it was still leaving the finish too marred to finish out how I wanted it to as the 105 was simply too aggressive for this paint on either pad choice.\u00a0 The ticket ended up being D300<\/a> on an orange pad, WITH SPEED 5 AND SLOWER PASSES.\u00a0 The slower passes allowed more concentrated work from the polish\/pad combo.\u00a0 This finish left me with moderate marring left over and that was easily cleared up with powerfinish<\/a> on a hydrotec pad.\u00a0 Following that all up with menzerna SF4500<\/a> on a black pad gave me\u00a0 a super clear finish and I was done!<\/p>\n

Finish:

Any questions (hahaha)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
