Ricey Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I have a similar problem when I nip on the Envy Valeting shop.........sooooooo hard to resist. Snow foam is so much fun though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob d Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 well it has all arrived and how spanky it is. Note: for all you Hozelock users, the 22mm fitting is the one to get. Snow foam is very snowy foamy ! Wifey had a heart attack ! She looked out the window to see the car completly white. She thought some little tyke had paint bombed it and came running out to see Any who.... on to the polisher. I bought the kestrel and a yellow pad and a black finishing pad. Spent ages trying to correct the paint for that mythical swirl free finish. Got part way and thought - arse that will do for now, time being a constraint. So then polished and then waxed. I used the Megs 123 system for this. Well, it looks cloudy and uneven Not happy. I have put this down to me being crap at this and it being attempt one. Not sure how to improve on this. I took it slow and a little poressure followed by light pressure, but the swirls stayed and the finish cloudy. Is there a grown up in the south west - Bridgwater area - who has had a more succesful experiance ? i can provide beer...... I will percy veer and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't using the pad bare with no compound were you! The megs G220 has a little dial thingy on the back for speed and I think recommends 4-5 for swirl removal and 1-3 for buffing. You sometimes need to do a few passes on the same area. There are a few decent vids on youtube by Megiuars to show you how its done but I can't see how its ended up worse unless the paint work wasn't prepped properly. Did you clay beforehand?

rob d Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Had a jolly good chat with Eamonn this morning and discussed the tecniques used so far. A few suggestions on speed control and duration of buffing and i am ready for attempt 2. This wont be for a couple of days so will report back in a few days :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob d Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 now thats better! I did the snow foam washy thing as normal... After cleaning my pads for the DA started all over again on the bonnet. Cleaned down with lime prime, then used the Megs swirly scratch off stuff. I worked this untill almost gone, this is where I differ from the last exercise. MUCH better ! I used top speed too - as advised - and now have a spanky smooth bonnet. There arte still some marks there so I guess a butcher compund will be the thing to get the last out. My mistakes: too slow a speed on compound. did not apply long enough : stopped before full effect had taken place. Used conflicting products on same mop - bad !!!!!! Applied wax at too higher speed. Slowed to 3 for this stage, much better ! Questions: Should I dampen the mop before I start ? I currently apply the gloop straight to the mop. I am getting some kind of fall out. It looks like the mop is breaking up - small yellow fragments - but no visible damage to the mop. Or is this usual ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
