Lately, I have been playing with a final finish of just water and the black finishing pad with very light pressure.
#REJEX ON PLANES HOW TO#
By the way, AmmoNYC and Meguiars have great instructional videos on how to use a buffer and pads. After using 105, I then step up straight to the black finishing pad with Meguiars 205. The goal is to remove the least amount of paint in the polish process. If it is quite gone, you can go to a polishing compound or in some areas even rubbing compound. So, unless your paint is quite gone (chauky or big scratches), I would use no harder than Mequiars 105 with a micro fiber cutting pad (say a half to 0.25" cushion). Second, aircraft paint is very, very soft.
It needs to be a random orbital buffer so as not eliminate the chance of burning the paint. Next, get yourself a random orbital buffer. Clay baring and/or the use of dawn will remove all wax from the paint and a protectant will need to be applied later. I then use a clean bucket with whatever soap I'm using to clay bar the entire plane. If it does, I clean that last using simple green extreme and a micro fiber sponge that is only used for heavy cleaning. I assume the belly is not greasy nor has a lot of exhaust residue. Again, use the two bucket method with grit guards at the bottom of each bucket.
If, it's been awhile (at least a year), I will use dawn dish washing detergent to wash. If it's a routine wash, I like Meguiars Gold Class soap and a wool wash mitt. I use the 2 bucket method (one bucket for soap, one for rinsing the wool mitt). I wash and polish my plane and all my cars routinely. So, I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to this stuff.
