  • The Power of the D.A. - A True 50/50 shot **spoiler alert** may induce obsession

    In the spirit of being ecstatic [and sometimes giddy] about dramatic paint transformations; i wanted to share this picture.

    As you can see to the left side of the picture, before correction there are a few types of defects in the paint such as:

    1] Layer upon layer of spider web swirl marks for YEARS of improper washing.

    2] Type I and Type II water spots from wax neglect and parking near errant sprinklers.

    3] Some Deeper RIDS [random isolated deep scratches] which were, at times, hard to locate beneath the swirl marks.

    4] Bird Etchings.


    All of these conditions caused the paint to appear almost a dull grey and most certainly covered up whatever flex were in this metallic paint job.


    This three phase paint correction was performed with a D.A., Meguar's Microfiber Discs, Meguiar's M100, and finished with M205. and it was a 97F day outside.. so the correction could have been even better in mild conditions.

    It truly goes to show how powerful the D.A. can be when paired with the proper pad, compound, and liquid...

    I hope you all enjoy and drool over the results as I did.






    Enjoy and Keep on Buffin'...

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you show off a before/after - direct sunlight with a tape line. At times it's hard to imagine that such a transformation can even take place, but it most definitely can!!

              I never under estimated the power of the DA, it was just a matter of finding the right pads/products to work with the mechanics of the machine (when I first discovered the Surbuf pad with the DA I was blown away). It's so exciting to see what the future holds on new products for the DA!

                  The DA is incredible these days when used with the DAMF system and the new megs low profile foam discs! Go pick them up if you haven't!
