product help (and snow foam)

[MaLicE]

ok been looking at this snow foam stuff... do i need a dedicated snow foam lance or can i use the mixing bottle thats on my karcha or however its spelt jobby?? the lance on that has a mix settin and currently sprays foam from the detergent they supplied with it....

secondly im going to borrow a mates polisher and do the rx7... what i wanna know is what products after polishing i should use?? he has the polisher and polish but i wanna get my own products to use on it after polishing...

what cleanser sealer and wax should i look at??

been told about dodo juice?? its for a black paint and i want it looking really deep and wet also places to get it would be good

cheers in advance

Right....JDM paint is relatively soft. However very few are on original paint. I did a red RX7 a couple of years back. Was a categoric nightmare, 6 diff colours and not one of them was consistent.

I used Compounding pad, 3.02 menz, but imo it needs 3M Fast cut plus and then refined on a finishin pad with something like....swissvax cleaner fluid or even Super resin. Can't see you buyin lots of stuff!!!

Your foam lance is fine also.

Imo. use whats available to you. Buy a 3.02 or bodyshop polish, med to high cut, don't worry about the gloss. Use the finishing stage to bring up the shine.

Buy EGP as it's easy to get, Or if you want a better seal buy CG blitz, lasts for ages and if your serious about keepin the car looking good, it's a on-off product post washin!

Wax - Take your choice, Swissvax ONXY is great on black. As is Pete's 53# << Cheap too.

Work 1ft x 1ft area's. RX7's are decent to polish tho as they flow nicely.

Didn't think the standard Karcher foamer would be any good with snow foam, will need to give it a go. Where's the best place to get snow foam, guessing it will have to be mail order?

CYC or most of the other detailing sites Koi mate.

Bilt hamber autofoam seems to be the latest 'best' foam on dw.

As ali said jap paint is usually very soft so you shouldn't have too much trouble improving the finish. What machine is it your using? Well worth having a look at the guides on detailing world, they'll explain the process and also the different grades of polish etc.

Only heard good things about BH snow foam, but depends on what you deem is necessary.

Agreed on the advice Rich has given about reading up on the guides. Don't just go bowling into it.

i'll lol if it's a rotary....JDM paint BURNNNNNNNNNNN! lol

 

[JD]

I like that burnt paint look. It's the new "rat" look!

 

[Ali]

TBH Burnin paint is Bloody hard to do. Your more likely to nick an edge or Induce MicroMarring! Which is a cnut to get out!

 

[JD]

I heard that was the reason behind your Vee vs fire picture Ali?

[JD]
