This took me 21 hours to finish---Had to pop a couple Advils on the second day!
Rarely need to do Advils but this one was a bear! Had to pop a couple!
One the top 5 worst cars I've done to date.
Severely neglected and frickin super, super hard paint to cut.
Took me 4 steps to get about 90% correction.
The NSP 150, 95 and 45 worked great! Thanks Guz, for the links-helped a lot!
Process:
Spot wet sand 3000.
Rotary cut with extra cut 3D yellow wool pad and NSP 150.
Flex Beast, blue HDO cutting foam pad and NSP 150.
Flex Beast, orange HDO polishing pad and NSP 95.
Flex Beast, Rupes white finishing pad and NSP 45.
Flex cordless DA, white Rupes pad and 3D Poxy.
The big issue was getting the paint to cut. NSP and the extra cutting yellow wool pad did the trick. Buttt, I couldn't get it cleaned up in the next step! NSP 95 with orange HDO polishing pad fell short.
Backed up and took a blue HDO cutting foam pad with NSP 150---bingo! Cleaned up the rotary haze just enough to allow the NSP 95 to finish down. Then jeweled the paint with the NSP 45.
My thoughts....very, very nice cut, sheen and gloss all across the 3 NSP polishes.
I not sure tho, I think the gloss is somewhat more amped up than the regular polishes I've used in the past.
And It did cut that hard paint with rotary/yellow wool pad with ease!
Glad it wasn't oily at all! Was getting tired trying to remove oily polishes without scratching the paint again!
Still on the learning curve, ie: the keeping dust down, when to add or not add NSP product, arm movement, etc, etc.
Need to put in the hours to get the hang of these polishes.
I think this is a powerful cutting machine!
