Is it safe on all paint types?
Generally speaking, yes, it is only a medium rather than full on heavy cut product so suits all but the most delicate finishes. If in doubt, always go gently to begin with on suspected softer paints with a lower cut process (softer pad, lower machine speed/torque etc).
Will it remove deep scratches?
It can reduce heavier swirls but may not fully remove deep scratches. These may need to be wet-sanded out, an advanced technique. And if the scratch has gone through the clearcoat, a respray will be required.
Do I have to refine the finish after using Depth Charge?
The best finish is always achieved by 'finishing down' with lesser cut or ultra-fine cut polishes. Using Critical Finish after, or even Lime Prime and then Critical Finish in that order, may give even better results in terms of paint clarity.
Can I wax straight after?
Yes, it leaves paint clean and ready for protection. If using a sealant we recommend that you use Stripp-Ex as a panelwipe to remove all oils first; this ensures the maximum longevity, durability and performance from the sealant.
Does it fill defects?
There will be a little natural filling due to the glaze oils in this product but it generally removes defects rather than masking them.
Do you do an even heavier cut polish?
No, currently Depth Charge is the heaviest cut polish we do. It is easier to cut paint over and over to achieve a desired result but much harder to put paint back. So for reasons of safety we do a medium/heavier cut polish only that can be combined with heavier cut pads and the correct machine polishing techniques for strong but safe paint removal.
