Hello, everyone.
I'm about to begin a full detail on my car now that I have a daily driver and have found a product that I'm comfortable working with. The pictures of the purple car show a before and after with Griot's Machine Polish 2 after one pass with an Orange LC pad. The last picture is 50/50 shot of a test panel I did on a friend's car. My question stems from the last picture. Above the tape line in the last picture is the test panel after I worked the product. You can however see very light imperfections still which is what I'm seeing on my purple car. Am I worrying to much that the product isn't fully removing the swirls or is it okay and those light marks should go away after I polish it? I hope it all makes sense the way I attempted to explain it.
I've done a second pass and I can not get rid of the light swirl marks. I have tried a orange LC pad at speed 5 with Griot's Machine Polish 2, a orange LC pad at speed 5 with Wolfgang Total Swirl Removal, and lastly a yellow LC pad at speed 5 with Wolfgang Total Swirl Removal. I made sure to work all 3 products in real well and what appeared to work best was the Wolfgang Total Swirl Removal.
I know it is best to use the least aggressive method, which is why I don't want to use the yellow pad, but I'll take another crack at it when I get home. Other than that, does anyone else have any advice?
