Megs UK micro detailing day

[Alex7938]

I had a couple of the guys from the UK forum come over to have a try with some different products, we concentrated on how to remove swirls with a PC.

Products used:

• ScratchX with the 7006 pad
  DC#1 with green DAS pad
  AG SRP with green DAS pad
  #7 & #21 with Blue DAS pads

The only trouble we had was the sun, hot and sunny when we started, overcast when we finished. The first 2 photos are a before and after of some bird poo etching, which came up really well without W&Ding,





The left side is before and the right side is after 1 pass of ScratchX




1: Working the ScratchX in



2: Showing each other how we work the PC


3: The first annual PC race



[b]4: The finished Hoods (that's all we had time for)


5: Trying to get #7 & #21 bottles to stand up (the owner wanted to stay mysterious)



6: Reflection of the Monaro in the Polo



7: Reflection of the Polo in the Monaro


8: My favorite shot

Cool, looks like fun! I also didn't realize Holdens were exported under the Holden name to the UK. Cool!

Great job! In picture No. 3 I see a somebody with a G100 and an W7000 pad. I undersatand the W7000 is not designed to be used with the G100 machine.

Hi Carrera,

I think that pad is W-7006 which is for the G-100, although I thought it's best used with a bonnet over it for final polishing as it's that bit stiffer.

it was badged as Vauxhall, but the owner prefers the exclusivity of it being a Holden

it was a 7006 6 1/2" pad, worked really well too, i found it alot easier to work with than the 7" DAS cutting pad.

i think the 8" is just to big and doesnt allow you to concentrate on smaller imperfections.

did someone say 4"spot pads for 2006?
