Using TSR 3.0 and getting good results, all swirls are coming out, but some "scratches" are still there. I can't feel them with my fingernail, would this be a job for Uber? :buffing:

Without seeing a picture or knowing what pad/polisher, but Uber does have more cut, yet it can finish very well in most cases. I have even used it after spot sanding with 2000 and it worked fantastic.

According to the AGO guide - if you can catch your nail, you need more intensive repair. Compound won't fix the issue.

I can not catch my nail on it. I'm using a CCS 6.5" Orangle Light Cutting Pad and speed set on 6.

What kind of polisher? Also, I'd recommend a 5" BP and 5.5" pads for more effectiveness from your DA. Do you have Uber, or are you looking to purchase? I have A LOT of 2oz Uber samples if you just want to try it.

Uber is awesome. Honestly, I would buy it anyway just to have, because you never know when you'll need it.

Yeah switch to the 5" backing plate and 5.5" flat pads

Maybe try a yellow cutting pad or a MF pad with TSR.

Does Uber have more cut than say Meg's UC?

Yes. MUC is around an 8 and Uber I believe is a 10.

So I've been using the uber compound with decent results. There are some RIDS I'll have to work on later. I'm wondering if the 6.5" pad is to large to allow the PC to remove enough material. Would 4", 5" or 5.5" be better?

5.5" pad setup is better imo...

Yes. MUC is around an 8 and Uber I believe is a 10.

While the numbers may say this, in my experience the difference is more substantial. On my Wife's Volt, 2 passes with MUC on microfiber still left defects while 1 with Uber made quick and easy work of them.

I love MUC on my Honda because its paint is pretty soft, but on hard GM paint Uber is the way to go.

OK, I couldn't find any 5 or 5.5" pads in town, but found 4" and backing plate. OMG what a difference. is 4" to small other than taking a long time. Or would 5" be better.

That size is good for spot touch up and tighter areas. I wouldn't try to go over a full car with it. In my arsenal, I have 6.5, 5.5, & 3 in pads.
