I have been waiting and waiting to finally get a chance to work on my car. I am planning on removing orange peel and following up with a coating. Car is our vacation car or when needed second car when family comes into town. I ordered the pads at the start of the season here in Ohio but I have been busy with work, I was sent to Atlanta for 15 days at the start of summer and been busy almost every weekend with details so I haven't had a chance to get to it.
The car is a 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT in black, I have a 2014 Dodge Durango in black as well and Chrysler must just suck at painting as the peel is atrocious on both vehicles! I am not done, so there are no completed pictures. I didn't start with PTG readings since we moved last summer and it was lost in the move. I have a new one coming next day so I will get readings then! For now here is where I am. Using a Flex with denim pads and FG400, using VERY little product. It seems like the less product the better the results. I have played with running at 5 and 6, it seems 6 cuts quicker but the paint sure gets hot which I am not a fan of. I am switching between 3" and 5 1/4 inch pads making sure the pads get a chance to cool down as well. So, here are some progress shots:
Overhead bulbs:
Post removal, I used the same zoom settings and light fixture:
After breaking the product down 2 times:
A reflection other than lights:
I will need to follow up with a finish polish to remove some of the hazing that developed. Hope to get the project done in the next week before surgery.
