SunnyBoi we all need a detailed class please. What all needs to be done ?

 

That isnt Gtechniq. Its just the polishing needed to give Gtechniq a proper base. THIS below is Gtechniq C1 applied






Also CHetan was kind enough to drop his Punto at my place for some rubbin

What exactly did you do? I demand a step by step

Awesome work.I have never been very keen on detailing work, but these pictures have now lit the spark. Please do educate us innocent folks.

I'll list down the steps:

Palio :

• Wetsand using 2000 grit
• Compound using Osren Velvet Pad + Megs 105 / Megs Cutting Pad + Megs 105 / LC Orange Pad + M105 (tried different combinations on different areas to see which worked best)
• Polish using LC White pad + Megs #83 DACP
• Wipe down with IPA to remove all oil/polish residue
• Apply Gtechniq C1

I still have to apply Exo V2

For the Punto:

Wash
Clay using Mothers Clay bar
Meguiars Cut n Finish with LC Orange Pad. Power went off after one pass so couldn't do more polishing
Meguiars M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax

The Punto was my first attempt at "Production Detailing" to see how much I can achieve in one step. Did not exactly achieve what I wanted but it learnt a lot about fiat factory paints.

All of this was done on a SKIL 9080 Rotary with Meguiars W64 backing plate.
