With your plans I wouldn't think an IPA wipe down would be needed tbh..... I could be wrong but I just can't see where it would fall in.

Impressive.... Never tried Reload, Is that the normal amount to use?? Seems quite a lot compared to other spray sealants I've used.

I love Rejuvevate.... Pulls so much crap from the paint even after a thorough Decon.

Yeah just found my pic of the pad colours, Blue may be a good compromise? Black is good but a bit soft it seems

Need to order some more bits so may throw in some Orange ones if nobody comes up with other colours. Love it Scott.

Hex logic still the choice pad?? Mainly just for glazes and cleansers. I have Green, White and Black.... What colours could my small arsenal do with adding? I'll be getting into correcting but got a few cars to do soon that just need tarting up to sell so will be done with a glaze via DA.

I'm more than happy with my G3 mitt but then I've not tried any others.

Dependant on how long you want to spend I was impressed by AF Rejuvenate to pull the crap out followed by Poorboys Blackhole as a glaze. One stop then AF Tripple.

I just love my clay mitts now, I think I'd hate going back to a normal clay bar, Was the most tedious part about decontaminating a car.

That is a lovely finish... My Bro is picking up a White Leon Cupra soon so may happy to try and copy as best I can your products :)

Is Bouncers 22 proper glossy Dave?? I have CTR and the smallest amount of 22. At the price I'd be tempted to buy a pot for wet glossy looks.

Looks as a priority = Capture the Rapture, for me anyway but I've limited wax tests to go on.

Persevered with the UG, Thinking maybe using Rejuvenate first may have already masked some of the swirls? as I wasn't getting much to show from 50/50's :( Anyway. Paintwork - AF Lather, Autosmart Tardis, AF Iron Out, Farcela Clay Mitt, AF Rejuvenate, AF Ultra Glaze, DJ Purple Haze Pro, AF...

How long roughly were you working UG for Scott and at what speed? Weather dependant I'm going to crack on with the other side of my car tomorrow.

Pretty sure I started with 1500 and onto 2000 before finishing with 2500, Then used Menz 2500 and onto 4000.

Love the colour, The paintwork genuinely needed no work whatsoever?? That's quite rare.

Nice turnaround.... Some silvers can be a real pleasure to work on.

Can only see 1 of 3 Scott

Depends really on what you want doing and what products are used. There's a big difference between a quick polish and wax compared to full decon, paint correction and long last sealants etc.

Called it a night at about halfway around, Put a layer of DJ Purple Haze Pro over the areas I'd Glazed just in case the weather turns overnight. Doesn't seem to be filling many light swirls but nevermind, I'll actually get round to correcting it fully one day. Progress pic -

Either I'm doing something wrong or Ultra Glaze is very poor at masking swirls, Cannot tell the difference between untouched, 1 pass and 2 passes. Do I abandon UG and continue with AM Details Glaze sample?

As Dan said you needed to spend more time on the sanding and making sure all the haziness and spiders webs are gone, I'd be working up the grades a bit aswell, It'll make the polishing stages easier.

It's not his first win is it? Obviously has a good eye for this.

That makes sense then... No taking away from them though as it still seems a great finish and they seem thorough in their work.
