Hello guys!
I bought a black dodge srt4 that looked perfect when i first bought it like 3 months ago but i guess it was just a wax, now the problems are a lot of swirl marks, water etching, a couple of small scratches, and white spots in the front bumper which im not sure whats the reason behind them...
The paint looks perfect from a 5-6 feet distance but close up, ehhh.. some pics. First is what it looked like on the first day..

Then all the spots that i hope would come out.. only very few of them are actual chips, the rest seems to hide temporarily when covered with water so i assume can be buffed out..

Now, recently i bought a slightly used Makita 9207spc 6 speed variable rotary, it was used but the owner gave me everything he had with it.. a 6" velcro backing plate that has a blue top.. and a 7.5 or 8" white foam pad, tried measuring it but didnt know where to start counting from , anyways it also had a 3/4th bottle of Megs 9 swirl remover 2.0, a 3/4 bottle of megs 83 DA cleaner/polish, 1/2 a bottle of megs 84 compound power cleaner, a 1/4 bottle of 3M Finesse it II finishing material.. Everything is 32fl oz except the swirl remover which is 16 oz. I also bought a brand new full bottle of Megs 105 ultra-cut compound, 32oz bottle. Idk if i need the 205 or not...
Last week i used mothers gold clay bars and did the entire car, now here are the questions. First would i need other liquids or are those enough? Which pads should i buy? i want very few holograms if possible and i have no DA... What would be the best combo to use , like for instance" use the wool pad with the 105" etc.. and finally, i tried the white pad with some M83 on my friends red prelude and it took out the swirls in a second but i noticed holograms so i stopped, i need to practice before ever using it on the srt lol.. and is it possible to take those white spots on the picture with the machine?
Oh and the machine seemed to glide away from me very easily even if i tried holding it firmly! at speeds 2-3, didnt try any faster and im a pretty strong guy so its not the way i was holding it. Is it a problem with my technique or the rotary itself...?
Thanks for reading all this, and hope someone can help me Feed back please :dblthumb2: :buffing:
