    Need somthing more aggressive

    I had the pleasure of detailing a friends 01 Lexus ES300 over the weekend. My current setup is as follows:

    Griot's DA buffer
    Orange pad
    Wolfgang swirl remover/finishing glaze

    When I use this combination on my black '97 BMW it worked wonders. When I used the same products and techniques on the Lexus, the results were good (the owner was astounded), but I was a little under whelmed. When I was done, I could still see some light scratches in the paint I would like to know (using the DA buffer) what would be a more aggressive combination of pad and polish to use for finished requiring a little more work. I also noticed a lot of black coloring on my pad after using the aforementioned swirl remover (something else I didn't get when working on my own car). Can someone help me out?

    Was the car black? If so, it's either single stage paint or a re-paint. The Meg's 105/205 combo is more aggressive.
