chet is that the one with the black and blue leather?
I've done my moms fella's white Transit, wish I'd taken pictures. It was like an off-white before and a good wash and Megs 83 on a light/med cut pad and it was glowing white when I'd finished. You should have seen the 50/50, proper mental how yellow it had gone. Really annoyed I didn't take pics now.
That's just what I used btw, you should always use the least abrasive that gets the best results as you want to achieve maxiumum correction whilst taking off the least amount of clearcoat/paint.
Hi Ben, a DA is a perfectly good option, and with the right pad and polish combo you should be able to rectify the fading. I'm going with the assumption here that the none-metallics are single stage based on what Kyle said about the red - I know the metallics are two stage. When you're ready to start, and have some pics, please post another thread and we can discuss in there.
Good lad, thanks for the heads up. Chet, on that basis, your red Punto can be saved, and all the fading removed. If you want to bring it over, I'm happy to take a look and show you a sample of what it could look like if I or someone else with a machine were to do the car..
Sound advice :D
wish i had that interior in mine!!!!!!!
I presume when Kyle is talking about G3 he means the Farecla stuff - popular with bodyshops! Now available in Halfords too I see :lol:
DA = Dual Action, which is a type of machine. Megs is Meguiar's as you've rightly said. When I quote polishes I generally quote the make and grade/type, i.e Scholl S40+. I haven't yet done any polishing guides, claying was the next one I was going to do when I get 5mins to generate some pics and think of how to structure it. Regarding products for polishing though and composing a list, I can sort that out in the morning mate!
Farecla has replaced the 3m fast cut range due to "apparent" cancer scare!
I personally wouldn't touch it as with most reasonably good foam/lambswool heads it's just too aggressive! But the g6 does smell nice, lol.
Kestrel DAS-6
LC Hydro-Tech Polishing Pad
Scholl S17+
Poorboys White Diamond Glaze

*This is down to your own personal preference, as to which type of look you prefer, durability etc..
