Cant get swirls out!

[fauzool]

Well im using m205 and with white LCP and they wont come out!. They are the swirls that can only been seen in the sun. I did 4-5 passes several times and still they wont come out!. What am I doing wrong?

Try using an orange pad and if that doesn't work, move up to Ultimate Compound with a white pad.

I tried the orange pad and well that didnt work either. You're saying ultimate compound? The scracthes are so fine they can only be seen in sun. I would think m205 and white should get them out.

Well if orange and 205 did not take it out your technique may be the problem or you need a heavier polish. Do smaller sections 18"X18" and slow arm speed (1 second per inch). BTW what buffer are you using?

Im using the porter cable. Im putting decent pressure and am going fairly slow

Is the pad actually turning?
Might be too much pressure.

Your clear is hard and might need UC and finish down with Ultimate Polish or 205.

Pad is turning not very fast but not too slow. i guess i can try an UC

Do you have a black hash mark on your backing plate so you can monitor the pad rotation?

[fauzool]

not on my backing plat I marked the top of the pad

Works either way, but easier to mark the bp rather then doing all the pads which will wash off eventually.

Alright might just change that, I used the uber compound and it actually seemed to work pretty well, but that just means after that I have next step with m205 which I was trying to avoid. Do you know why the swirls could only be seen in the sunlight(sun has to hit just right), but the paint looks perfect otherwise?

Some lights washes out and therefore you can't see the swirls. Other good led's will show swirls nicely. Sunlight is the best swirl finder IMO, yet others say it's too bright. If you look on the perimeter it won't be as blinding.
