Someone PLEASE HELP I知 at my wits end
I知 going to put a link to a YouTube video showing exactly what I知 dealing with but it is NOT my video it痴 just the only thing I found on line that is exactly what I知 having happen.
Anytime I do paint correction I get great defect removal and gloss but the problem is when I inspect with my inspection light I find micro marring everywhere but not bad but only enough to find with inspection light or in the sun at noon at a perfect angle.
Now before everyone asks the obvious questions this has been going on for months.
4 different DA痴
All different types of pads.
Every high quality correction liquid available.
Every microfiber I own was replaced to brand new autofiber and TRC.
Used all different panel wipes.
Clean pads ever pass.
Its 100% not leftover polish.
Literally everything under the sun was tried.
Very obvious it痴 something I知 doing or not doing in my technique or lack there of.
From one human to another of anyone has gone through this or has ANY idea, advice, tips, help you have no idea how much of an impact you will have because I have been trying to correct this for 6 months and I知 out of ideas.
Thank you so much.

Are you using a non-diminishing polish?

Re: Someone PLEASE HELP I知 at my wits end
Sounds like you need some good lighting instead of completing the whole car and then finding out you have marring/holograms.
You need to find the right polish and pad combo on a test spot before continuing.
It appears to me that you are over working a non-diminishing polish or under working a diminishing polish.
It's important to know what kind of polish you are using. One size does not fit all.
If its not the polish causing the marring then its got to be the towels. However, I can't see you adding marring on med/hard paint by wiping off the polish on a light colored paint that the naked eye can detect.

Re: Someone PLEASE HELP I知 at my wits end
My question, assuming you are using appropriate pads and polishes (or AIOs), for your final finishing, is how much pressure are you applying with the DA and are you lightening up on the pressure of your final few passes?
Anytime I have had a problem like you are describing I've been able to correct, or at least improve, the condition by...
1) Lightening up on the pressure for the final passes (equal to or even less than the weight of the machine)
2) Experimenting with machine speed (usually slower)
3) Increasing the amount of product used so the polishing is executed in a "wetter" state and shortening the polishing cycle (SMAT only)
4) As a last resort if nothing else works, doing the final finishing by hand
