DETAILING - Jet Black E92 - Stage I & II - Pics
After seeing some other threads with folks detailing their cars, I figured it was due time for me to detail my car, call it my Spring Full Detail ! Thanks everyone for the motivation
My car was COVERED in imperfections due to the winter here in Canada, so it is a LOT of work to get it back to state where I'm proud to show it off. Without further adue, here are the details, pics. Stage I & II complete. 1.) Wash Entire Car - Poorboy's World Super Slick & Suds w/Sheepskin Wash Mitt (30 minutes) 2.) Dry Entire Car - DI Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel (30 minutes) Note: MANY Microfiber towels were used along the way - DI Microfiber All Purpose Towels 3.) Clay Bar entire car - Clay Magic Fine Grade & Poorboy's World Spray & Wipe (5 Hours) 4.) Polish Entire car - Menzerna PO106FA Nano Polish, Orange Cutting pad on Porter Cable 7424 (7 hours) Yes, That is all I have done so far, so keep that in mind when looking at the pics ! The car is essentially "Stripped" at the moment. Stage III - Still to come: (More pics to follow) 5.) Hand Glaze Car - Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze (Now Complete) 6.) Hand Seal Car - Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket (Requires 24 hours of "settle time" before Wax) 7.) Hand Wax Car - Poorboy's World Natty's Blue Paste Wax 8.) Wheel Dressing - Poorboy's World Bold 'n Bright So, here are Stage I & II Pictures: . . . . . . . Last edited by Vacek; 05-23-2009 at 07:36 PM.. |

IMO an orange pad is a bit too aggressive for 106ff, and way too agressive to finish off. I would recommend using SIP with an orange pad, followed by 106ff with a white pad and finally finished with 85rd on a gray pad. Detailing is all about the prep work, sealants and waxes are just there to protect the finish and give it that extra pop.

As for the Orange Pad and 106ff , I personally get excellent results everytime, however I'm sure it can always be better. Thanks for the tips, always appreciated. Kosaic |
