Hello Gents I hope everyone is well....
I am taking the plunge and buying a machine poisher, pads and compounds. My paintwork (1998 Audi Santorin Blue) has been polished with a a Lakes light cut pad and Menzerna 203s. This got rid of some of the scrathces/swirlmarks, but the deeper ones/older swirl marks are still very present. Due to Audi paint being notoriously hard I have resigned myself to the fact that a machine polisher with the appropriate pads and compounds is the only way I will achieve a true correction. Now I don't know a thing about machine polishing. I am going to learn (via write-ups, youtube vids and the forums) but what I would like to know from you guys is what kind of polisher would you reccomend? My budgets pretty high and I want to go all out and do it right! Secondly, what kind of pads will I need for my paint? Lastly what compunds should I be thinking about using for this? I understand that different pads and compounds are required for a single correction on the same car. Like I said I want to get this spot on (as spot on as I can for the first time!) so what would you reccomend guys? I was thinking about keeping everything I can in the Menzerna range as I love their products! Any opinions and reccomendations would/will be truly appreciated!
