icemang17 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Okay so I finally got around to properly polishing my guards red single stage paint 1988 928....DAMM that paint is hard as a rock...... Heres my procedure wash with ONR claybar with adams & adams QD polish with Lake white CCS 7.5" pads on my Makita rotary set to about 1000rpm with Opti polish review work..... certain spots needed more....cranked up makita to 1300rpm and went over again... minor improvement changed to Lake CCS Yellow (cutting) with Hyper compound on a section....almost 1500rpm didn't do much other than add minor swirls...damm this paint is HARD switched back to CCS white, opti polish @ 1000rpm to remove minor swirls...came right out lightly buffed the whole car twice with microfiber towels to make sure all the polish is gone put a coat of optiseal on yesterday put a 2nd coat on today... HERES THE ????? Tomorrow, do I put a third coat of optiseal or put a coat of Trade Secret carnuba-blend to attempt to increase the gloss.... So what will look the best....... BTW the car looks SUPER slick right now....damm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Orosco Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I would go for one more Opti-Seal application then top that with some TS the following day. Also, we need pictures!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Def Detailer Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I love Opti-Seal. Check out the results of after only applying one coat to a 1965 Ford Mustang 289 2+2. The color is kinda hard to explain (orangey-red)? Honestly the pic doesn't do the car justice. A client's car who takes it to select shows in TX & OK. The day I completed this job he attended a local Mustang Cruise and said he received at least 50 compliments on how the paint looks so wet. The car was repainted 13 years ago and hadn't been detailed save for "hand washes" at the local Auto Spa. My process consisted of: ONR Clay w/Megs med clay & ONR lube Megs 80 + Megs #9 via rotary (Edge 2000 Green & Blue Pads) Megs #26 via Cyclo Blue finishing pad (I debated whether to use OPS, but since I already was kinda heavy into Megs that day...ehh) Opt-seal via micro-fiber applicator Opti-Bond on tires via Wagner Power Painter (wow.) Opt-QID OPP on Interior vinyl panels Nu-Leather on seats Client also has '50 Ford and '60 Buick LeSabre he wants done next! Prob will go with all Optimum on those for comparison.
