Scooby looks nice mate, just a tip though with regards to G3. It might be a bit overkill on Jap paint. It's usually very soft and can be sticky. A milder polish would work a treat on it.

 

[mr_D]

good point. will give the polish a good go on the weekend. see if it brings it back to life

 

[PhilW]

Seen you this morning in it on the A48.

 

[mr_D]

did you. you on your way to work?

 

[Swordjo]

On that red Auto Glym SRP should work a treat. It might be an old polish but it's still great, even better by machine.

 

[mr_D]

ok. i will give that a try. i have a mop to do it with. as long as i go easy

 

[Swordjo]

I think a wool mop will be too much mate, it should come up great by hand.

 

[mr_D]

u recon?

 

[Swordjo]

Yeah the wool can create alot of heat. Not what you need on what could be sticky paint (scoobies actually seem to be the worst for it). A bit of effort doing it by hand and it will be sorted, and some decent wax or a sealant.

Highly reccomend this for red: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/victoria-wax/victoria-wax-3oz-concours-wax/prod_312.html topped off with some Zaino Z8

 

[mr_D]

you do know the car has been resprayed though yeah?

 

[Swordjo]

Do you know what paint it was resprayed with? I still wouldn't take a mop to any car with a wool pad on it without knowing how much paint i had to play with. Don't want to ruin your car just for the sake of a bit of elbow grease... unless you have a paint depth gauge?

 

[mr_D]

no i dont have one of those. lol. will be doing it by hand dont worry. lol

 

[Carr20vt]

I have a ptg if you ever need. Get some Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze on there by hand or pc and it will look dripping wet.

 

[mr_D]

ptg??

 

[Carr20vt]

Paint thickness gauge.

 

[CupraElliott]

If doesn't matter if you have a ptg for soft paints. It only tells you how thick the paint is, not how soft. If it's been resprayed you wont get a true reading anyway really.

I wouldn't even touch jap paint with a polish, never mind G3 and a mop. I would use a DA with a finishing pad and a paint cleanser with mild abrasives.

As said Super resin polish is spot on for paint like this. It's a great product aswell. It has mild abrasives and fillers in it. Going over by hand say 5-6 times on the whole car would see a massive reduction in swirls etc.

Just my two pence. Not like I do this for a second job or anything
