If it ends up looking like its worn through or if i screw up, i'll let you know when i schedule to come by with the new spoiler. |
I did detailed and Opticoat the car myself with a different Orbital polisher (DAS 6 pro). But they are lla pretty much the same unless you want to go to a higher more expensive product and use it on a regular basis for other cars.
I used menzerna polishing compounds and they worked wonders.
I would recommend to start with speed one, spread the product on a part of the panel you want (say half your rear trunck or something) then increase the speed to say 4, 5 or 6 depending on how aggressive you want to be.
I reckon 4/5 final finish from Sonax would work just fine. I would also recommend doing this in a garage, and have some flood light, and hight intensity light ready to check the scratches and stuff.
Good luck!
