This was my first DA Microfiber system use and I can say I learned a lot about this new system. It is FANTASTIC! Very easy to use, wipe off is a breeze.
Will do a separate review of the system, so look for that.
Process:
Exterior -
Wash - 2 bucket method w/ GC soap
Wheels - White Wall cleaner (1:1)
Clay - LT at 1:1 and Mild detailer's clay
Compound - D300 w/ compounding MF pad
Polish - D301 w/ finishing MF pad
Wax - Ultimate Wax Liquid
Door Jams - spot polish and UWL applied (sorry no pics)
Interior -
Dash - APC (10:1) spot treatment + QID dress
Carpets - Dry brush and Vacuum
Seats - GC leather cleaner and conditioner
This car was quite fun to work on, but every panel was severely swirled and had many RIDS (though not so isolated). I started out with a test spot for my DA MF system. After 2 passes with the D300 I found I was getting 95+% correction with a slight haze. Followed that up with the D301 on a finishing pad which removed all the haze.
After working about half the car I found if I cut my work area to about half and recieve the same correction level with a single application of D300. This system really likes slow are speed and moderate to heavy pressure.
On to the pics.
Before:
Not so bad, right?
Let's look closer
The swirls continued throughout the rest of the car. They were lightest on the hood, roof and trunk.
Exhaust was a mess
Engine too
Afters:
Much Closer
Exhaust was much better but not perfect
Engine got cleaned too
Thanks for looking. All comments welcome.
