Correction is going pretty well. Most of the dirt is on the tops of fenders and tops of doors, because that's the side facing the outside air intake. Pretty substantial dirt on the fenders especially. You can fly swat every insect you can find, there can be not a single one in sight, and the minute you start painting.......Here they come! They love it, I think it's an intoxicant for them and like party time.
Process is hand blocking 1500-2000-2500 with Durablock and Mirka powdered guide coat as a visual aid (messy but it works very well), Meguairs M110 on a wool pad at low speed very quicky gets this.
I'm OK with it having a little bit of texture, it does not really show very much on this color and keeps as much material on the car as possible which is a good goal for a long haul vehicle. It's well past driver quality already and after I get the whole car pretty close to this, I'm going to stop.
I'll give that a chance to age, and then if/when I (sorry) "take it to the next level" (so cliche) later on, I'll use a rigid block and get it flatter. For now this will definitely work!
I'm a little bit stunned I was able to achieve this.
