Re: Help with sapphire black 650 swirls
Assume you are in Oz mate..
If you are near the gold coast PM me drop buy and we can try a bunch of products and see what works..
My first suggestion would be foamed wool on the rotary (I have same rotary..) and the same compound...
If no joy then perhaps something like scholl s3 or s2, ad if no joy some Juice super c SMAT compound..
To make progress on my mercs I now go straight to foamed wool and the S3, and if its more severe correction the Super C..
Cutting foam pads do almost nothing on the harder paints I have encountered...

Help with sapphire black 650 swirls
I know a little bit about '08 BMW BSM, as I a 2008 M Roadster in BSM.
One point I'd like to make is, my car was painted in Spartanburg GA - so it has "regular" paint. The 6 series has "ceramic" paint - which may be a bit harder - but in general, BSM is pretty forgiving to work on.
Those swirls don't look too bad, really any quality compound should work. I would use regular compound pads, not Rupes pads on that machine though.
If you are looking for suggestions, the Wolfgang compound is very good.
What we are looking at in the pic may even be micro marring from your procedure... You will have to figure out if you are looking at original defects or compound haze after you compound to know what is going on and what step to take next.

I didnt use a cutting compound, just polish to cut. Didnt do much at all to the swirls. Any suggestions?
type of swirls:
Blue (Coarse). 150mm.
This combination of pad and product, when used on the RUPES LHR21E, is capable of removing up to P1500 grit sanding marks on fresh paint. Swirls, light scratches, water spots and other paint imperfections will be effortlessly removed with this pad.
with
Rockwell ShopSeries Car Polisher - Multi-Function, 180mm, 600 Watt - Supercheap Auto
Bump up your combination,for me ditch those pads and get 205 and some micro cutting disk.Those appear to be light swirls.Those pads are to rough with that compound.after the 205 refine with HD speed on a polishing pad.

Or choose a rupes polish or compound with those pads.

Re: Help with sapphire black 650 swirls
Will the quality of machine effect the job in this case? Its a pretty budget machine ($120)
