gogsboy 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Nath, the bonnet on my Corrado seems to have marks on it still evident after a polish there, had the machine on it too. It's like something has been splashed on it, and left circular marks. What do you reccomend here, with my own cars I have always been wary of rubbing to deep as such. Do AG still do Ultra Fine Renovater and would you recommend it, I have some but never used it on any of my cars, I did try it on my father faded red wing, it helped a bit but nothing like the results that you seem to achieve on the likes of that Porshe pics I saw :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted January 13, 2007 that porsche took 2 solid days with the rotary polisher, various grades of polish and then many coats of glaze and wax. Miracles dont happen in 5 mins. When you say you have tried a machine.. what exactly did you try? best to take paint depth readings before carrying out any major polishing work so you know how much you can safely remove. most machine polishing i do removes about 5um and an absolute max of 10um in approx 60um of clear coat that is usually on a car.

I can imagine it took you a while as it was pretty far gone to say the least. Just used the machine I have, to see if it would bring it up better than just with hand, but done by hand first to see results. I dont have the kit for paint depths, pity I hadn't noticed your section prior to buying my Corrado as I was near Cambrige before heading way north...would have saved me a lot of time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
