So I'm heavily into polishing for the first time. But I'm stuck trying to get the undercase (or clouds) out of the finish. You can only see them when viewed directly from directly above.
Here's my procedure for raw AL to shiny...(note: on each application, all the polish has all been taken up/disappeared)
3 applications compound F9 (two passes: one horizontal, one vert)
3 apps compound F7 (2 passes each)
2 apps comp C (2 passes each)
2 apps cyclo S (2 passes each)
1 pass cyclo dry cloth (removes vague "black clouds" that the cyclo C seems to leave after the polish has been all taken up)
This leaves me with a nice shiny finish, save for the white clouds.
Ive tried a few things to quit the clouds...
Compound with S, then cyclo with S (no change)
Cyclo with C, cyclo with S (no change)
Compound with G6, cyclo with S (slight change after 3 applications) - this is the perfect polish site recommendation for clouds
I've been all over the Perfectpolish site and any other google source possible but to no avail.
Short of acid wash, which I'm a bit loathed to try (I'm still building and dont know how long it'll be before I fly and get all that liquid out of the seams).
Anyone got any magic polishing solution to the white clouds? (they dont show up on pictures). I didnt get any hits on search here, or any threads Ive read so far.
Thanks.
