How to restore my black color car?

Re: How to restore my black color car?

If you are using the yellow foam applicator for the #80, try using the white terry cloth applicator because it will provide some additonal cut. Then use the yellow applicator for the wax.

Re: How to restore my black color car?

It looks as though you've made some good progress here, but you really should stay away from the M84 by hand. It is a very aggressive product that is really designed for rotary application only. It needs that power to break down the abrasives - if you don't properly break these down they will end up scouring in the paint.

Looking at the improvement you've made so far, and if these are the only products you can get, we would recommend using only the M80 from here on, and apply it 3 or 4 times if need be. It's not terribly aggressive so by hand it may take several applications. Ideally, though, if you can find some Ultimate Compound from our consumer line you'll get the job much, much faster by hand.

Thank you Michael, So if I insist on using M84 before M80, is it okay if I buy a cheap rotary polisher, not like DA polisher which can be adjusted the speed and applying M84 using this cheap rotary polisher? Because i think it will be a waste to buy DA polisher which is very expensive here (USD 320) and using it just once because I don't have detailing business and doing this detailing only for my own car.

Thanks Smack for the respond, but one told me that it will be worse if using terry cloth. Anyway I'll try it, okay.

Did you mean an orbital buffer?

Rotary polishers have adjustable speed control and are harder to use (for begginers) than DA polishers and caution is necessary while operating due to quick paint removal and heat generating ability.

DA polisher would be your best choice to speed up paint correction process without any risk of unwanted side effects. And trust me, it's money well spent/ invested, you'll be using this tool many times for cleaning, polishing and waxing.

Thanks Greg0303, if so I'll buy DA Polisher. I'll make a new thread about DA Polisher, so i can buy tge right applicator pad for it.

I'm glad I could help you choose the right tool.

Dual action (random orbital) polishers work with Meguiar's DA Microfiber Correction System (will be available worldwide):

Terry with the #84 would likely go bad. With the #80..ehh. Thats what test spots are for.

A good DA is always best, but like Mike said, maybe another look around for something like UC would solve the problem, and be cheaper...

Have already contacted rawatmobilmu and He said that DA will be available on April, I don't know the type but it will have 220 Voltage not like G110 which has 110 Voltage on it, and the price will be Rp. 1,500,000
Thanks for sharing Pro01

Wow! That was fast brother. I wish I have the funds to buy a DA as soon as you did.Congrats!

I'm just a noob but you might need an orange pad and even a yellow for paint correction. From what I learned so far, use a test spot and the least aggressive product. Maybe 80 using your white pad may already solve your problem

Just lucky I guess, someone from Indonesia sells this product for USD 225, it a little bit pricier but what can I do, I need this polisher so much.
Anyway thanks for your advice. I'm still waiting the other advice, gather them all and do what I think most suitable for me.
Thanks
