Hello everyone, first off this is my first post and still kinda new to this detailing. But have been a lurker and ever ones work here is amazing!!!! Ok so ive picked up this truck its a ford lightning. Recently did a wet sand think it was 1200 grit but didnt use any other sand paper. Im happy for my first time doing it but still have these scratches.

Thats a bit aggressive with no other sanding/polishing. Those scratches youre seeing are from the sandpaper. You need to refine them with some 2500 grit, then a polish. My noob 2 cents, anyways

Yeah, unfortunately those polishes don't remove 1500 grit sanding marks. Youre going to have to go back with a finer grit paper, and THEN a polish with those after.

Thats what i was kinda afraid i was gonna have to do. Was looking into the m105 would that work for it?

You're going to have to go to M100 or M101 on a MF pad to get close to it working, and thats a long shot still

I understand now. Maybe ill end up going that route. Im happy with it but once your at the right angle can see the scratches.
