Eagle info

[Say08]

Looking at trying the eagle film on da. Curious if anyone could ball park how much of the yellow 1000 and assilex 1500 would take to do a car? What about the 3000 and 8000 trizact?

I usually use 1-2 sheets per panel of the 1000 and 1500. The 3000 and 8000 last much longer, 3-5 panels per sheet depending on size of panel. Spend a lot of time with the 1500 to make sure all the 1000 scratches are gone.

Thank you. I had that figured backwards needing more of the finer stuff.

you will use more of the 1000 because that is dry and your really cutting down the clear with it. the 1500 pink assilex though goes a long way. 3 sheets on the whole car give or take a sheet. same for the trizact.

I'm using too much 1500. Paranoia. I've been marking the back of the Trizact sheets with a Sharpie to keep track of how many panels I've used it on. When they get to 5, I reluctantly pitch them.

Yea the trizact you have to watch. Its very hard to tell when they stop cutting because the foam pad keeps making a sudzy film well beyond the point where they are beat. The pink being regular paper you can tell when it slows or stops.

Thanks for the info. I’ve never done this with da and am curious to give it a shot.

Thank You for the advice. Came out good so far. I bought the sample pack from eagle and the 1200 seems to be the go to. The 1000 for me was a bit aggressive not have done it before. Had to see the wheel on it once it was good.
