Griot's Garage Fast Correcting Cream as a finishing polish? ( Nardo Gray M4 )

- I was doing a full paint correction on this 2020 Nardo Gray BMW M4 prepping it for some CQuartz and was having a little trouble getting the paint to finish out the way I like. I used the Duetto for most of this car, because of the many complex curves that would have made it difficult to use the Bigfoot 21. I used Griot's Garage Fast Correcting Cream and Griot's microfiber cutting pads to do the first step of compounding. There was the tiniest bit of marring being left from my usual combo of Meguiar's 205 and yellow rupes pads. After sleeping on the problem and coming back the next day with a fresh perspective, I came up with an unusual solution to the problem. It is very important to me to end up with a swirl free and marring free finish. One of the reasons I usually book a full correction and ceramic coating as a 2 day job. Enjoy!

Nice job, enjoyed the content!
Thanks DM Detail
Asking since I’m betting you have thoughts on this-
Do you have more experience finishing with Griot’s correcting cream? I’ve used 3D One for finishing for a long time, but love FCC so much that I’m trying the basic CC soon.
How do you compare CC to 3D One? I love the latter, but the wipe-off for FCC is too good to not try the other stuff in their lineup. I’ve also read that the perfecting cream is a bit too gentle, so my thought is to use a softer pad with CC.
Thanks for your feedback. Killer work on that Bimmer.
PS- I use (and love) Soft99 Fusso original formula in a cold garage. Apply and immediately wipe-off. Sometimes cold helps.
Thanks for checking out the vid. I actually got to follow up on that car a year later and the ceramic coating definitely had a great bond and was still performing nicely.
As far as regular CC, I haven't used it. I liked FCC so much that I got a gallon of it and it's been my go to ever since. If I need less cut or it is making excessive haze (which usually isn't the case) I just move to a less aggressive pad.
For finishing and 1 step polishing I now use Menzerna 3800. I've been very happy with it.
I tried 3D One a couple times but didn't really like it. FCC cuts better and Menzerna 3800 finishes better. I did just get some Menzerna 3500 to try. It's 1 step up on the cut and one step down on the gloss from 3800. I figure if the 3800 isn't quite getting me there on a 1 step, I can switch to the 3500.
I actually haven't heard of Soft99 Fusso. I'll have to check it out.
Yes the cold can be nice. Since doing this car I've learned with ceramic coatings the humidity has the biggest effect on curing. And it's opposite of what I would've thought. High humidity cures really fast and low humidity makes it take much longer.
@@luxurycardetailingthehamptons Thank you very much for the feedback. Makes sense to get FCC; I’m on my 2nd bottle and love it.
As for Fusso, 9 out of 10 times it is not something you want to offer to clients. It is a product that requires so much skill and care to use, but yields unimaginable water repellency. It is not a gloss-enhancer (except on metal), and is really reserved for workhorse cars that have been corrected, yet will continue to face hell after. I use it on my daily driver, relying upon my polishing skill (and a ceramic topper) to overcome its mediocre gloss.
If you wish to try it, get it directly from Soft99 USA. Look for the original (not EU) version. It’s $33, and you’ll also want gloves and a mask when applying. Smells of straight kerosene, and contains PTFE. Apply thin, and immediately wipe away unless it’s cold out; if cold, wait no longer than one minute. It’ll impress you about as much as FCC does in the way of it’s intended purpose.
Thanks, and cheers.
I’m sorry to ask my audio isn’t working but what pad size was that ? And if it’s a 5” did that little polisher get hot ? What speed did you run it at ?
Hey Amir, thanks for watching. The Rupes Duetto polisher is designed to take a 6 inch or 150mm pad. I've run this machine for hours on end in 90°F heat and have never had a problem with overheating. I was running between speeds 4 and 5 for most of this job. That seems to be the sweet spot.
Luxury Car Detailing in the Hamptons Wow that’s a big pad for such a little polisher but yeah that’s cool.
hi what size throw does that rupes polisher have?
The Duetto is a 12mm throw.
