Meguairs DA Microfiber system

Janner_Sy:
Cheers guys

I pick up panels from the scap yard down the road.

I've found the limits of the Orange hex logic megs #105 on a BMW front wing and believe it or not an old escort bonnet.  

Is it worth it or required to finish :driver: :driver: off with a foam finishing pad and Polish?

stealthwolf:
IIRC I just refined with menzerna final finish.

xjay1337:
It depends on the paint... if you hit the paint really hard it will hologram, that's only natural... depending on the paint types and how hard you had to polish originally you may need several refinement steps..

And again depending on the paint types will dictate what kind of refinement you need to do. I spent the last 2 days working on a E92 Coupe, 2-3 hits with Microfibre pads and Menzerna FG400 was required to get a decent improvement but nowhere near perfect. To refine that because the paint was so bloody hard I was using SF4000 on an orange pad which was giving a good result. I did try SF4000 on a white pad which needed a few bit more effect to achieve the same result.


If you use a really aggressive combination and then go straight to a really fine/jewelling combination then you're still going to have holograms this is where you need 2-3-4 steps to get a really good result.

Janner_Sy:
So your not using the meguairs compound and finishing polishes with your microfibre pads then?

xjay1337:
I have the Meguiars correction fluid but I use it with other products depending on the need.

For a novice just stick with the meguiards microfibre solution stuff.

I have used various megs polishes especially recently with Microfibre pads, they're all much of a muchness when it comes to the end result.
