Default I like it deep

I've had my 97 Buick now for almost a year. Before me it had never seen wax and went to the car wash twice a week. A few years ago the front went through a repaint and t had terrible deep sanding marks and rotary buffer holograms from the clowns at the body shop. It has been a while since i've used my rotary buffer because if you keep up with your paint you usually never need it. Gary has my PC and since i just got my rotary buffer back from the world tour of loaning, I decided to break it out on the Buick. The pictures are taken before any sealant or wax was applied.





There are still some deep sanding marks that will never come out unless i want to tear the clear coat down to nothing but overall I'm VERY happy. I forget just how hard you have to work sometimes with the PC to get 1/3 the results. I also used the new Zaino ZPC for my final polish. It seemed to work really well bringing out the shine (not so good at the swirls i had though) This weekend I get to do the rest of the car. Ray bring the beer

I'm concerned.... you keep asking "how many coats of ZPC?"

You don't apply ZPC like a wax or sealant. It is a polish you work into the paint with a porter cable or rotary machine.

Steve, bring it down Sunday. I have my PC and Rich taught me a 2 or thing about using it. I would not mind melting your paint...I mean fixing your paint.
