I tried my PC

**Thomas Dekany** · 06-09-2004, 02:00 PM

Since my AMINO UV is still not here (

) **It showed up late afternoon** I used some 3M SMR, IHG, Show Car Wax on the trunk so I can get use to the PC.

ANY suggestion is welcomed!!!

washed the area with dish soap

Mother`s clay bar (didn`t see dirt at all)

washed again

SMR with white pad (didin`t like the results) sp 4 then 5

SMR with yellow pad (little better) 4.5

IHG white pad 4

IHG by hand (just to see - feel so much better using my hands - I guess I am use to doing it by hand)

Wax with gray pad 3

everything was removed by hand

I took lots of pictures after each step.

Anyway it isn`t hard on my hands, but it did feel like it wasn`t "flash" with the surface - maybe it`s just me being nervous.

This is before touching the car

I didn`t realize that I moved my hands taking this picture.

Another after shot

As you ca see, not everything came out - I wish I used FINESSE II to start with, I didn`t think my paint was bad enough for it. O well, it was a good experience.

Some thoughts - I think I used too much SMR first and not enough IHG with the PC. Live and learn!

Pictures do lie!

I do have some bird poop damage that didn`t come out and waterspots too that I actually didn`t notice before, but wasn`t concerned with the paint at all so didn`t really look that close when I washed the car last time.
