So I should be ok using G10 liquid by hand?

Bailes1992

What you looking to do? if it's just a spruce up then a clay, 2-3 Coats of Super Resin Polish and wax will work wonders
If your looking to cut the paint back then you really should have a machine

i need to machine compound my car as you can still the glue from the ex-po-po stickers - i only had the car 3 years

Bailes1992

Tar and Glue remover would have sorted that out surley?
You shouldn't machine anything other than a perfectly clean and clayed finish otherwise your just rubbing anything on the paint back into it causing scratches and swirls.

oh i see - but im not sure that will get it off.

I did hand compound half the roof when i first got it and quickly got bored so never bothered since

Some day, when I muster enough enthusiasm I may give it the love it needs

Bailes1992

Soak it in petrol for 5 mins and some elbow grease should get any glue off

fuck that - if i soaked it in petrol and I would be tempted to find a match

srp wont do and why would you want to do 2-3 coats of srp i dont know
some menzerna 106fa on a light polishing pad will be less work than 3 coats of srp

Bailes1992

SRP have very very mild abrasives, also has some fillers and leaves a nice base for any coats of wax or sealents

JamboRS

cheers for the info i already knew
why would you need 3 coats of it,your just masking the defects instead of tackling them.

Bailes1992

I don't appreciate the attitude to be honest.
At the end of the day I didn't see what he wanted to do.
And if he was just lookign at getting rid of swirls etc by hand then a few coats of SRP is perfect.

G3 for that,even some 1500 wet and dry to gently rub the line out,plenty of water needed though.

Hand cut with g3 alone may not be enough,may require a mop to do it.

iTrader: (1)

Hi mate,slightly off topic but could you tell me what the 15000 means under your user name?I've noticed a lot of newbies with it and I'm just curious!!!!

iTrader: (2)

as vaughant says mate. G3 will do the trick.

Bailes1992

Not a clue

JamboRS

i dont have an attitude just correcting your wrong info.srp wont get rid of swirls,it has light abrasives and you wouldn't even notice a difference if you ipa'd the panel after applying srp.it contains more fillers which will mask the swirls not correct them and contains a light sealant.srp is only good for lazy folk that dont want to correct there car properly

Bailes1992

Or don't have the tools/time or equiptment?

JamboRS

mate am not arguing with you,the op asked about g3 or g10 which is a heavy compound and you come on with mis advised crap about srp,srp wouldny even polish the cheese off ma foreskin.now your banging on about tools.(sigh)
im out

g3 will do with a mop and bit of water but you will see the two paint edges /line it is very hard to blend old with new solid paint colours .Neil

G3 it is then!!

Thanks boys!

James @ M Developments.

iTrader: (2)

just be carefull with G3, you can very easlily rub through an edge with it, its very harsh. but will do what you want very quickly

vaughant

iTrader: (1)

Good point,it is harsh but he should be ok by hand on a paint edge.

We didn't get soft edge probs when we were painting but I know where we did the blow in there would be a little dry patch which we always hand polished.

Bailes1992

Using it by hand he will probably end up with a very dull and scratched lookign finish as the abrasives won't break down.

vaughant

iTrader: (1)

Yeah,a good polish with something like srp that you mentioned earlier should sort that.
