Tested the scratch-filling capability of the Eagle One Nanowax

|

Hi. I got to detail my dad's Honda CR-V again last December 2009. The last time it had an exterior detail was in the previous year.

But this time, I got to experiment with one of the waxes that I haven't used for a long while - the Eagle One Nanowax. I just wanted to know how it would perform on the paint of the CR-V which, unfortunately had lots of scratches and spiderwebbing from its many visits to a number of carwash shops.

My test area was a portion of the hood. Oh my, look at those scratches!

I did a 50-50 on the hood. On the right side, I applied the Nanowax via a black Lake Country pad and the Porter Cable 7424. I found that there was a noticeable difference. Lots of scratches apparently disappeared. It however took around 4 coats for it to look that way.

After the experiment, I decided to use the Meguiar's Ultimate Compound with the Porter Cable 7424 and the orange Lake Country pad on the whole car. I really prefer removing the scratches rather than hiding them.

Paint looks better again. :)

Thanks for viewing.
