More aggressive cutting needed, next step?
Hey all, I used griot's garage one step sealant on a orange gg pad last weekend. While it did reduce swirls a lot on my 2011 WRX, it didn't quite get them all. My question is what should be my next step? A more aggressive pad or a more aggressive wax/abrasive?

Re: More aggressive cutting needed, next step?
I'd get a dedicated polish or compound instead of trying to do the job with a cleaner/sealant. (cleaner/wax)
When the word dedicated is used to describe a paint care product it means the product is for most part designed and formulated to do a very specific task, like a polish is for removing swirls... not removing swirls and leaving behind a coat of protection.

As Mike said, a dedicated polish will be needed to remove the swirling seen in your paint.
A good polish on a white pad would be a good starting point to see if that removes the swirls. If not you can step it up from there. After that seal it with a quality Sealant.

I've used Wolfgang Uber compound 3.0 on an orange pad with great results.

Depends on the defects you are trying to correct
Post some pictures and you will get more accurate suggestions

Re: More aggressive cutting needed, next step?
If i understand your original question it seems you're asking...
After seeing a particular pad/product combo remove some of the defects, what should you up next to get the remaining results i.e. should you up the pad and use the same product or up the product and use the same pad? That's been a common question and i've done both sometimes and done neither other times.
If i am doing a test panel and i see there is very little affect i grab a tougher cut product but try it on the same pad...maybe white pad. Basically i usually change my cut product first and then change to a more aggressive pad last. If my test panel yields about a 60-70% improvement i just do it again with the same combo.
