From faded to unfaded

[zckid]

Hi guys

on Thursday last, one of my friends came with his Toyota camy, faded red in color. We set to try the Menzerna polishes with LC CCS pads. But we had limited time coz my friend had to move.

I gave the car a wash, dried and clayed only the roof and the bonnet, ONR as clay lube. The clay picked up quite some contaminants.





sorry for the lack of pics coz of limited time and my boy was lurking around. Besides. the waether not detailing-friendly.

I used the Power Gloss on an orange CCs pad, the 203s on a white pad and the PO85rd on a black one.

I did the bonnet and half of the roof.

Here are some pics









As you can see the pads turned red. Is this normal for faded paint?


A reflection pic of the bonnet. It was cloudy and started to rain too.



However I have a concern. The bonnet looks very fine but in the light, there are some buffer- induced swirls

Any advice on how I can get rid of these? or am I not working the compound and polish fully? there is a problem in the first steps of machine polishing?

i'll post more pics as an when i work on the Camy

Your advice, comments and criticism are all welcome as always

Thanks a lot
