Our first class of the year and it was, of course, a resounding success! We filled the training room with a bunch of very enthusiastic car guys, and managed to make a huge improvement on the black Audi that Oliver was kind enough to allow us to use as our demo.
The non metallic paint on the Audi was pretty loaded with swirls and fine scratches.
We cleaned the hood and then clayed it, but since the owner had done a recent clay process on the car it was pretty clean in that regard.
This was the first Saturday class where we used the newly introduced MT300 DA buffer, and it was a big hit! It also did an outstanding job of correcting the defects in this car! We first demonstrated the new thin foam discs, using the DFC5 cutting disc with Ultimate Compound, the DFP5 polishing disc with Ultimate Polish, and finished with DFF5 finishing disc with Ultimate Wax.
Alongside that process we demonstrated the DAMF System, first priming the pad with D300, of course.
The left side was done with foam and the Ultimate Trio, the right side with the DAMF system. A couple of deeper RIDS still need to be addressed, and we did just that once the car was back in the garage and the students got to work on it.
Foam and microfiber fighting it out on the Audi.
A little close attention for a first time user, challenged with removing a RID from the tight convex curve on the leading edge of the hood. Was he successful? Well of course he was!!
The car owner, Oliver, mentioned that a little birdy liked to sit on the side mirrors and make a deposit on the side of the door, leading to some etching.
A quick hit with the DAMF on the MT300 and........
Bye bye etching. And swirls, scratches, and everything else below the surface that was letting down the finish. Hello gloss!
Thanks to everyone for coming out on such a beautiful Saturday to spend time learning in our garage, and a special thank you to Oliver for letting us use his car as a demo.
