Hello everyone,
I tried to paint correct my driver's side rear quarter panel using M105/M205 tonight and the result was very disappointing.
I have 2014 BMW 5 Series in Jet Black and I am the second owner of this vehicle. Now, I recently discover that the driver's side rear quarter panel has been worked on by the previous owner which he never mentioned. I was able to tell because from a certain angle you can see a spot where they used bondo and paint. I am assuming that the previous owner did this to hide the damage because fixing the entire rear quarter panel for BMW is very expensive.
Now since it's too late for me to do anything about the previous owner lying (I had this car for more than 1 year), I wanted to see if I can make that area look somewhat better by using M105/M205 combo.
I was using GG 6" with GG's MF Fast Cutting Pad and did about 6 passes. After the initial wipe, I was still able to see some long scratches so I did another 2 sessions of 4-5 passes but I just couldnt get rid of all the scratches. I tried to see if I was able to catch these scratches with my fingernail but i couldn't.
So here are my questions,
1) If my fingernail wasnt able to catch any of these stubborn scratches, doesnt that mean they are not deep enough for me to using sandpaper and my polisher is supposed to remove them? Is my GG 6" not strong enough? Im pretty sure GG's MF Fast Cutting Pad and M105 is the most aggressive combo that I can use so im assuming that the culprit is the GG 6"?
2) Also, even though I wanted to get rid of every single scratches before I polish/wax, it was late already and I have to use the car tomorrow morning so I had no choice but to polish with M205 and wax after but I discover bunch of these tiny white dots all over the panel and they do not come off using a mf. What in the world are these? They are driving me nuts!!!
