Polish & Pad Recomendations
Hi all,
Looking to do some paint correction on my Saphire Black e92, it's been a couple of years since I've done any real retaking/paint correction but figure it's time to dust off my trusty porter cable DA polisher. Could anyone recommend me both a good cut and refining/finishing pad and polish that will work well on BMW paint with a dual action polisher? Thanks, Russ |

Hey Russ,
Sapphire Metallic Black is usually quite hard... this means 2 things. One, it will be more challenging to remove defects from the paint. Two, it will be very easy to finish down without marring/haze.... so there are some pros/cons to working with hard paint. Depending on the current condition of your paint, you may need to resort to something like microfiber cutting pads and a cutting compound for defect removal. If your paint is in relatively good shape and just has some minor defects, you'll likely just need a foam polishing pad and medium polish. Here are some of my recommendations for you: Meguiar's Microfiber Cutting Discs Light Cutting Foam Pads Polishing Pads Meguiar's D300 Cutting Compound or Meguiar's M100 Cutting Compound Menzerna PF2500 Medium Polish Meguiar's M205 Polish Here are a few examples of Sapphire Metallic Black using D300 and MF Cutting Pads After polishing and topping with Chemical Guys Black Light, it looked stunning Zach McGovern Detailed Image Ask-A-Pro Blog Author www.AttentiontoDetailingPeoria.com |
