here's the story...
New black Toyota Rav4, full correction, and opti coat 2.0 applied, application was over worked and after 2 months, I can see that only 80% surface beads after a dawn + apc wash ... so I decide to reapply OC 2.0.
as per recommendation from Chris at optimum, I did a clay and a light polish with Optimum hyper polish ( I only did the front clip /hood and fenders since I had limited time) looked good yesterday, so I applied the OC 2.0 after an ONR wash. but this morning in the sun I see a swirl galore, I used a white pad on a flex 3401 did the hood with one pad, and the fenders with a new pad.
water still beaded after the polishing, so I hope I only put the swirls in the first OC 2.0 coat. I know toyota paint is soft, but this is with OC 2.0 on it...
what should I do? polish again the remove the 2nd coat of OC and the swirl (orange pad or white?), then polish with a finish polish (white or black pad?)
thanks
