| 1 - Left Lower Door Opening |
| 2 - Protection Material |
- Mask and protect adjacent areas of the repair area prior to beginning the finishing procedure.
- Set rotary buffer to an RPM setting less than 1200RPM.NOTE:
A rotary buffer must be used by a trained technician as it can permanently damage the adjacent painted surfaces if not used correctly. Damaged painted surfaces can only be repaired by refinishing the affected vehicle panel.
- Place Meguiars W8207 Soft Buff® 2.0 polishing pad or equivalent on rotary backing plate.NOTE:
Prime all new and dry pads with the desired wax or compound to prevent additional scratches on the carbon fiber finish.
- Apply Meguiars M86 Solo™ Cut & Polish Cream or equivalent directly to rotary Meguiars W8207 Soft Buff® 2.0 polishing pad or equivalent and begin using moderate pressure and overlapping passes followed by 2-3 light pressure passes.
- After the defects have been removed and the finish is polished, wipe the polished areas with Meguiars M34 Mirror Glaze® Final Inspection or equivalent using Meguiars M99 Ultimate Wipe Detailing Cloth or equivalent. This will yield added depth, shine and protection.NOTE:
If the defect has not been removed, repeat the carbon fiber cosmetic correction and finishing procedure.
