Update on the GT4 is I applied 2 coats of nu-finish beck in picture with the Stereoscope on the roof, I applied nu-finish some 4 or more weeks ago, maybe 6, ??.
This morning I looked at the roof and saw it was dirty, so I just grabbed the stainless steel scourer pad, and microfiber cloth, and buffed the dirt off the dirt and thought this is pretty much how I will clean the GT4 until can get it closer to water for a pressure clean,
Please note , while looking for a specific time , 4 weeks ago , I noted a wrong word, my spelling checker puts in the wrong word for me sometimes, sorry, and some extra info I would like to add at this time, [[[[[[[]]]]] like that,
I have in the past 15 years used the above magnification to observe small tests on how hard is this polymer surface compared to the slightly abrasive materials such as microfiber cloth, results were very fine rubbing marks can be made to dull the shine using too much force, but those can be buffed up again with much less force, best used to dry dust and buff, the microfibers swallow dust particles which removes dust factor and no stretching, [[[[vertically x virtually ]]]] a dust off dry wash from storage, excellent for bucket wash, [[[[( Bucket wash demo and pics coming, )]]]]]
Next is the stainless steel mesh pad, which dulls the polished polymer surfaces easy with some pressure, [[[[ or too much pressure]]] and also [[[ then ]]]] again buffs that dullness to the best shine, with the lightest pressure and removes tougher grime, mainly a lot of light buffing on a polished surface, please note, each s/s strand is thin and wide, I buy these pads at the supermarket, then my dog chews at them and sort of makes bigger, 2 maybe 3 times bigger, ( some dogs like balls, my dog lovers s/s pads, ??, anyway, as it has worked out the s/s sourer turns into a s/s fluff ball, in my observation as I am buffing the fact that the s/s fluff ball is a fluff ball result in a very light and lower pressure on the abrasive cutting or scratching abrasion on the surface of the hard polymer,
If I buff with a new, more tightly woven and packed s/s pad, it will scratch and dull the polymer surface,
I will get some pictures of new s/s pads to show anyone who thinks they might purchase nu=finish and conduct their own observation, as pictured, just remember to fluff in s/s pad before lighly buffing,
Also, please note, a warning, is that the s/s pad and the microfiber tend to dull and scratch the surface of a factory 2008 clear coat, sorry I should have brought this to your attention earlier, I buffed this white bumper and quickly saw the clear coat was getting duller,
.
so please do not try s/s scourer pad, OR ANY SCOURER PAD ON ON WAXED clear coat, or any clear coat without having first applied nu-finish polymer,
So again to be clear, I only use the s/s scourer pad, and or microfiber on cured nu-finish to dry wash and wipe the dust off, over the whole car,
So, please note in this GT4 picture,
I have dry buffed the dirt off in a circler motion and left the roof un-buffed and dirty under the fluffed pad and the microfiber cloth,
Car location is in drive way of 20 heavy and industrial metal fabrication workshops, all constantly grinding and very dusty, traffic all day long,
Please note the definition and clarity of the mirror shine, in both left and right buffed areas, and under the remaining dirty areas not buffed, the clear mirror reflection shows the building and windows,
Next is another observation I thought to make today, pictures and info coming asap,
Also have a new to me set of head lights to buff, this has got to be a quick job, and asap,
Also heard report today there is local headlight cleaning service advertising $99 in free on line advertising, me thinks I might nose around and see if I can find out how busy he is,
Back soon,
