I am working on my first older car. It is a 1990 GM black truck. Overall, the paint is pretty good but I need some advice. I am using a Rupes LHR RO polisher and the Rupes polish, foam system. I did a test panel and was able to get most of the swirls out once I finally got down to the Blue foam and coarse polish. I started light and worked down thinking I would stop when all were gone. However, there were still a few stray areas so I decided to go one step further and used the Rupes Fine Microfiber pad with the white Ultra diamond polish followed by a white foam pad with the ultra diamond polish.. At first glance in the shop lights it looked really good. However, upon closer inspection with a bright light, I can still see some very fine swirl marks. The marks are not random and are very uniform so I know they are from the process somewhere.
Before I go any further, what does everyone suggest:
1) Different combination of pads/polish/
or
2) Different step and process all together
In either case, can you expand on the pad/polish combo and/or process you might suggest either from this point or starting over.
Thanks
