I've been dreading cutting and buffing the 53 truck I've been painting. Thanks to Jim C and others for sharing their experiences using Eagle products, the cutting process has become less time consuming for me, but I was still looking for something better. I had some Menzerna 400 on the shelf and gave them a call asking form some product recommendations. After talking shop for a short time with Jeff at Menzerna-USA, he introduced me to a new product line they are marketing called Jescar. I guess they are not owned by Menzerna and can sell whatever they want. Jeff has been in the industry a while and developed the full product line which he has manufactured specifically for the Jescar line.
He sent me some same bottles of their Correction Compound 1500 and Micro Finishing Polish 3000 and recommended using Lake Country's Wool/foam purple pad https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001328H40/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with the CC 1500 and a white or black foam pad (I used Lake country CCS black pad) with MFP 3000. I used a 25+ year old Makita 9207spc rotary for both at 1500 rpm.
Here's a fender I did. I used a 3m DA sander and Eagle Super-Tack Yellow film discs 1000 grit https://eagleguys.com/products/eagle-778-1000-6-inch-super-tack-yellow-film-discs to remove the orange peel followed by eagle Super-tack Tolex discs used wet. Here's what the result looked like.
I then used the Jescar CC1500 (which should remove at least 1500 grit scratches) using the purple pad. I applied the polish to the pad (no water or pad conditioner) and buffed about 1/3 of the fender at a time, then reapplied compound and made second pass. You might be able to skip the second application if you went over the panel enough with the Tolex. I haven't tried that yet.
Here are the results. Very impressive IMO.
Both products stay "greasy" on the panel and don't dry out like the Chemical Guys V compounds.
I did a test on a panel that had different sections sanded to incremental grits using yellow film (1000), Tolex (1500), Buflex green, and Buflex black. I used the process above and compared it to using an orange pad and CG V32 on the same panel and grits. The Jescar compound removed the scratches much faster. Using the Jescar compound on the Tolex section was the most efficient process IMO. There was no benefit to doing the Buflex green or black step.
Jescar is looking for feedback on their products, so they may throw you some samples if are willing to report your opinions back to them. jescarfinishing.com
I'd be curious to know what you guys that have been doing this a while think of the CC1500 and micro polish 3000.
Hope this help someone and saves you some time.
