Idiot Proof Paint Correction !

[Alikris]

When you use any polishing machine with compound use plenty of water or you could soon find yourself burning the paint .

Depends on the compound. Scholl S20 Black is oil based so no water needed and it doesn't dry, it's also a diminishing compound so can be worked for a long period of time without fear of overworking an area. With the DAS 6 pro dual action Random orbital polisher it's also idiot proof because if you press too hard the pad stops spinning due to the indirect drive. There's a video online of someone using Scholl S20 Black in very hot Californian sun with the car body temp at 60 degrees C ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoVdE-IQuVQ

Nice job, surely we are looking at the clear coat improvement as the paint is under it unlike the days of cellulose paint.

Thanks Yes, it's the clearcoat which has been corrected, there are a few scratches which have penetrated the clearcoat into the paint layer, but considering the age of the car and that it's had two previous owners it's in remarkably good condition. I did fill some scratches and lots of stone chips and door edge rash with a kit from paints4you https://www.paints4u.com/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=6912 and a magnifying glass.
