| Message: | ...but since the M635 is next, I figured y'all would like this. I've learned to love two (well, really three) things more than ever in the last couple of days: 1) Claybar - not only will your paint be cleaner than ever, but you'll know your paint so much better than before. 2) The GlossHaus system and my random orbital. My new Griot's orbital is designed which with the handle over the pad which seemed much more comfortable to me than my old Porter Cable (which worked equally as well - just wanted more control, and when you're working with polish and you're a chicken like me, that is a good thing...). Frankly I understand now why the Porter Cable was just fine, but like I said, I'm a chicken, especially when it comes to the M635 The process of polish, glaze and then polymer or wax (I used polymer on the iX) worked wonders. I'm a bad spokesman because I didn't take pre-wash/claybar/polish pix and the light isn't good for pix in my garage... In any case, here is a pic of the panel that got a fine polish only (imagine what it looked like before...):  Notice the individual bulbs are really hazy and almost fuzzed together. You can also see a fair amount of the pitting. Here is the panel that got the full treatment - two levels of polish, a glaze and then the polymer wax:  When looking at this in person, you can even see the pattern on the plastic cover of the light. Notice how much clearer you can see all the crap on the shelf in my garage... Considering this car has severe acid rain marks, etching and scratches, I'm really impressed with the results. While you can still see the imperfections up close, their visibility is reduced tremendously. Next time, I might have a swing at the most aggressive polish, but for now I'm happy to learn. Before this whole thing, I was pretty intimidated by the orbital. Over the next few days I'll finish the rest of the car - and then the M635 comes into the garage for treatment... Disclaimer: Anita, Steve and JT have nothing to fear from me. I've just learned how fun this is! | ||||
