Hello from Abbotsford, BC

[Firehawk 1250]

Hello all!

I'm a new user to the orbital buffer world and just lurking around the site trying to act like a sponge soaking up as much info as I can before tackling the paint on my 02 Firehawk Trans Am (Car 1250).

From what I've gathered so far, which I hope will yield the best results, are using M105 and M205 with LC orange and white pads. Following that stage with an LPS (I hope I'm getting the terms down) with a black pad.

Also looking for advice on single stage paints and how to make them "pop"! My Dad has a 1966 Volvo P1800 that I think could use a good polishing, so any advice would be great!

Thanks in advance and now I'll go back to lurking,

Gary

Welcome to Meguiar's Online, Gary.


Before you proceed with M105 do a test spot to make sure the compound is not too aggressive for your paint type. If M105 leaves its own traces behind Ultimate Compound may be a better choice.

As for single stage paint: M80 Speed Glaze or M83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish should deliver great results as they both have reach polishing oils.
