^^^ please post your results. Really interested to see if it was effective or not. Still haven't tried taking my surface scratches off but will very soon.

tchoke

will do,i kinda went overboard with ordering things spent close to 500 on detailing equipment, anyhow to tackle this i will be using
speedy clay towel, wolfgang twins using orange and white pads on griots machine
finishing it up with optiseal and a layer of poor boys natty blue
dammit the past 2 weeks ive been ocd'ing on autogeeks forum
will post pics once i start my detail

WOW!! $500?? That's a ton of money!! Try giving detailed image a try. That's where I got all my detailing supplies from.

tchoke

bought a da polisher and some onrww speedy clay
things that i would have for like a lifetime if im just doing my own car
have 2 cars to clean and figured its better investing this way instead of
getting a 1 time detail on both cars by someone else

your car repainted? that looks like some crazy orange peel.

tchoke

umm not that i know off which picture looks orange peel

benseen

In all the pictures. Look at the images being reflected in the paint.

I tried my PC buffer out a couple of days ago on a black Lexus RX 350 which had similar surface scratches. And it worked to perfection! I treated it like a practice for my G. Really excited it worked out.

I bought an old BMW that had a lot of spider webbing and scratches. I was able to learn what I needed from this website www.autopia.org. I also buy many products from We Are Car Care -- Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store.

One thing you need to do is stop washing your car in the car wash. Search for the two bucket wash method on the first site.

Good luck and post some "after" pictures when you clean up those scratches.

Finally got the time to get rid of those scratches and I was NOT upset with the results this time!!

Looks like you got some great results. It was worth it, wasn't it? Now you understand that no matter what anyone tells you, you cannot get good results doing finish correction only by hand.

And several hundreds of investment in orbital, pads, polishes, shampoo etc goes a long way. Rather than paying someone $100-200 a pop to do detailing and paint correction work, you can now do everything yourself.


Sigh.... I looked at my order history with Detailed Image, and my total spend over 3 years is $1300 . So it does get addictive......
