I was playing around on my dads red toyota tundra yesterday trying some different combos to see what I liked best. His vehicle is a daily driver with lots of swirls and scratches so it’s a perfect test vehicle. Anyway I tried menzerna 106ff on a white pad and it left some deeper marks behind so I stepped up to an orange lake country pad and it was better but still not perfect so I went with super intensive polish on an orange pad. It worked great and left the finish looking awesome. In fact it was so awesome I tried to follow up with 85rd on a grey pad and couldn’t notice any difference. My question is how can that be on a vehicle with soft paint. How could using an orange cutting pad and SIP leave a perfect finish.
I also played around with poorboys products as well and from my testing SIP seemed to leave the best finish and it was on the tailgate which was probably the most marked up area on the truck. I'm just looking for some feedback or reassurance because this seemed very odd to me. I though ti would have to do at least another step to really bring the gloss back. Everything was done with a porter cable and I did a wipe down after and pulled the vehicle into direct sun to check my work.
I’m rather new to this so I was just plying around so any advice or guidance is appreciated.
Thanks guys.
