I am new to this Forum, and it is a great place!
I have been looking through some of the threads regarding this subject, and was hoping for some advice.
I finished painting my ugly old el Camino with black lacquer about 2 weeks ago, and am just waiting for another week or two to start the sanding and polishing.
20 years ago was the last time I have done any of this type of work.
Back then I used PPG DRX16 and DRX25 rubbing and polishing compounds after waiting 3 weeks, then wet sanding to 1200 grit.
Then after waiting for a few more months I used a product called Liquid Ebony and followed that up with Meguiar's wax.
After reading about the Ultimate Compound, I have been tempted to wet sand to 1500 or maybe to 2000 grit, and then use UC to to rub and polish the paint in one step.
If not UC in one step, does the M105 and the M205 work well for rubbing and then polishing lacquer?
Is there a product similar to, or better than the Liquid Ebony I have used in the past?
Would love to hear any Suggestions.
I do have a regular old school power buffer that I am planning on using for the process.
Thanks!
Bruce
