salsa-king

I had a spare thirty minutes this afternoon so I spent it finishing off Da Polishing the rest of my car (I did the bonnet last night) with the Menz2400 and 4500, then applied the Angelwax DRIFT. Finished off the wrap roof with Autofinesse' Finale detail spray (as it contains no wax/silicone in it)

Well done matey. Getting the hang of things then??

salsa-king

well not sure really,

after the 2400 then the 4500 the body work had this over it...


it came off, or it goes when I wax the car. but I can't work out what it is, i didn't get it on the Punto. I wonder if its over spray of something, previous to me detailing the car.

on the bonnet I had water spot marks, which I've now read about on DW, seem they are a problem to get rid of, but do go if you detail spray.. and they don't show when waxed.
but annoying seeing them when the bonnet is swirl free and so smooth.

Is it polish splatter? I've not used menz, but I know ultrafina can start to splatter when it's worked due to it being very oily. Did you do an IPA wipe down after polishing?

IPA?

It could be polish build up, but it doesn't polish back out/off with the DA giving it another sweep over.

IPA removes the oils after polishing. If not it could be masking the swirls temporarily. Your pictures look like a splatter effect on the paint.

I can see 3chips or bits of polish on the boot. Rest looks good though.

wife's rings catch the boot edge, on the to do list for touching in.. again. Now polished I can go over them
