Popular Post Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 A very cold morning at Donington to watch the 750MC pre-season test/track day. We were glad of a hot cuppa or two at Garage 39! Loads of Locosts on track, amazing how quick they are with the little 1.3 crossflows screaming away, all about big corner speeds (and big cahoonas 😂). Some other interesting race cars also in attendance... A nice surprise was seeing the MK Sportscar guys with RLM testing a load of the new Cup 200's for the upcoming season. We took the opportunity to have good look round the cars, MK have definitely taken a big step forward on fit and finish despite the Cup 200 being for track only. They also seem very well sorted, planted through the bends and very quick on the straights 👍 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS 6 Pro DA polisher and I just used some Meguiars finishing wax this time. I’ve already cut it back to get as many of the blemishes out as possible so it started from a reasonable point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never polished GRP before, it seems to be much harder than clearcoat. Did you use anything in particular to remove the blemishes?

I just started with thorough degrease, clean, clayed it and then used the DA with Meguiars cutting compound. I’ve found it worked wonders on the fibreglass and also on the exhaust! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure one of my normal compounds would do fine in that case. Cheers for the info 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Normal “paint” orientated products will work ok on GRP, usually. They generally just need a bit more work. GRP specific cut and polishing products differ by the amount of cut, the GRP cutting compounds especially are usually more aggressive, than the paint equivalent. But also, once you start moving on to coatings, GRP specific ones, (especially, marine, which many are) will have more UV protection than normal automotive for paint and may have a few more marine specific qualities for sea/sea life exposure. When it comes to work horse cutting products, 3M have some very good compounds, GRP specific. (Farucla G10 is still very popular, too, for initial use after wet and drying, or harsh cutting, there are better these days, though, such as the much newer 3M product) With any of these in GRP, it can be done by hand, but for cutting especially doing the whole car, either a DA or a rotary pays dividends. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
