Not shabby for two little products

Had you clayed previously?

[Murr1525]

Actualy, it looks like ColorX really removed quite a few defects for you. How much passion did you have to put into it?

[fishbonezken]

Hey murr, nope it hasn't been clayed, but the paint felt rough and bumpy even on the day it was collected.
The car is new, it actually belongs to my mum and when I heard that the dealer would throw in a free polishing for me, I was so happy.

'A swirl free black car, YES!'

...or so I thought.


Is this called a buffing hologram?
How would this happen? to little product on the pad?
Pad is too dry?

more swirls...





Below is a test spot using ColorX, the area circled in red is after wiping it off.



Sun shot... After ColorX+NXT

Deeper swirlies are still there, but not as noticeable as before.

Finished.

Passion...hmm not much, about the same strength as applying NXT, using a foam applicator, I think I went through that part twice though.

Well, claying will certainly help a little with the rough feel.

You can always try some ScratchX on the deeper swirls, but future applications of ColorX will also help.

[fishbonezken]

ahhh... thanks for the tip, don't have scratchX yet...will bug my mum to get me one..

[sneek]

nice looking work!! both applied by hand I assume? but what kind of car is that? I don't think i have ever seen anything like it

[fishbonezken]

Hi sneek,
Thanks!
both are applied by hands, a rotary buffer is still on my dream list :P .

The car is a Honda City ... not sure if they are common in your region, or western countries.
