I've posted this on Autopia forum and thought I would share here.
Two of the three products I used were Megs.
I used #83 DACP with an orange LC pad (which started to come apart btw...going the use a purple megs pad next)
Then used Menzerna final polish.
Followed by two coats of NXT (great stuff)
The before pics were taken in the worst possible light I could find to show you the level of scratches that were in the finish.
Rear quarter - before
Passenger door - before
Rear quarter - before
Rear quarter - before
And now the after shots:
The first two pics were taken the same way the pics above were taken..
The rest were taken outside.
Rear quarter - after // there are still defects, however most are gone
Passenger door - after
I probably removed 90% of the scratches, swirls and defects. Deeper scratches are still there and I'm not stressin' to much over them. When I first got done I was like man this is great, now I'm wanting to get the other 10% (perhaps different pad/product combo). I did like two or three passes/applications of the DACP, this was a much as I could fix.
This was only my second vehicle that I used the PC on. However I have owned my Porter Cable 7336 for over 14 years now and have used it a bunch of times on my woodworking projects (Thanks Norm). I bought it direct from Porter Cable when it was a "new" product. I contacted PC recently inquiring about my 'old' model, and they stated virtually nothing has changed in design and parts since the products inception. It looks exactly the same. I have used and abused this thing for many years and it is still going strong. They must be doing something right.
Ok, I'm done...fun with pictures is over
