Compounds and pads For a DA?
- Thread starter Ryanj
- Start date
Menz and Hexlogic for me. If it's for Clio paint 203s with the correct technique will give decent bite to knock out some light marks, Not 100% of course.
From years of using a DA and rotary I still find that combo best for ease of use and performance.

so what colour hex pad would you suggest with 203s? and would this need to then be refined with another combo? also hoping to get a small seletion (3-4 different levels of correction) if you could recommend any others? (plus the level of correction they offer)
Also the best pad to use with a cleanser (rejuvinate for example) and a glaze like Amigo?
Sorry for all the questions but i'd rather not buy s**t thats no good!

renault sport cars are typically harder paint than standard non sport clio's
an orange Hex pad and 203s is going to be brutal on non sport paint and inflict a large amount if its own damage.

Its a tce model my car is so my car has a hard paint type? What should i be using ?

a TCE model is not a Renault Sport model. therefore I would have thought it will have softer paint, but you won't know for certain will you start to try and correct it.
I'm not sure if it is still the case, but the Renault Sport models were sprayed at a different factory to the general cars and the paint was much harder.

Do you think I need too change my hex logics due too my paint type I no its not a Renault sport but there still both glacier white?

Could you check with the manufacture what paint type is or does the paint types get softer over time I'm not sure

Kev is the person to give a structured reason as to ehat makes paint hard.
But it's not the colour that makes it hard, it's the process. That's why I said the RS come out of a different factory, and historically the finish has been harder than non RS that are painted in the main factory.
Doesn't matter they are the same colour, different factory, different environment, different conditions.
As is always said Danny, start with the mildest combo first time round until you know the type of paint you're working with. Once you have panels resprayed these will be different again to the origianl paint even though its the same paint colour
@Ryanj no way of testing that I know of until you start correction

not to worry mate, I made this thread to learn this stuff!
fair enough, thanks! So with menz 203s for example then, what hexlogic pad would you start with? Basically which pads would you suggest I buy, as there's a few different cars that I've been asked to do so different pain hardness etc

Use 203s with green or orange hex pads. But only when heavy correction is required.
Also get menzerna 106 and hexlogic white or black for softer paints or minor refinning
