Did first paint correction - Need more bite!

[Eldorado2k]

I am noticing the LC Yellow flat pad suggests you follow-up with a white or gray pad with a "fine polish." What would work well? I'm thinking to go with a microfiber pads, Meguiars D300 and a Yellow pad to give me variety. Could I use the correcting cream as a fine polish or would that be the perfecting cream I'd want?

You could use the Correcting Cream as your polish with your currect Orange pads, yes.

In most cases you’ll get lsp or darn near lsp ready results just from D300 w/Microfiber or a compound w/Yellow pads. That’s the beauty of these modern day compounds.

I ended up ordering several LC Yellow and White flat pads, D300, and Meguiars Microfiber cutting pads. In terms of bite, what would you recommend as a starting, least aggressive combination (already have correcting cream) to higher noting orange didn't touch it.

I would try 2 test spots first. Correcting Cream with MF Cutting pad and same thing with Yellow foam cutting pad. Side by side and inspect results closely. If neither spot cuts like you want try the same test with D300.

I've found Toyo paint to be mostly soft and sometimes medium.

I’d go straight into the microfiber pads with D300.

IMO using a less aggressive compound with the microfiber pads leads to overworking to achieve the desired results + IME the Boss Creams tend to gum up for lack of a better term on the microfiber pads. It’s been a while so I might be describing it wrong but there’s something I didn’t like about the user experience compared to D300.

Prime the microfiber pads so that there’s coverage across the entire pad prior to getting started, then add 3 small dots before each polishing cycle. Work somewhat slow with your arm speed applying moderate pressure for the 1st 2 section passes, then ease up on the pressure during the final section passes. Those are the general instructions from Meguiars.

I like to set the polisher at speed 4.5

Update?

Update?

Sorry I thought I had updated. I tested D300 with both the microfiber and yellow pads, and there's a definite difference with the microfiber. I ended up using the microfiber with D00 for the car, and feel pretty confident with the results. Definitely think that all that's left is scratches that require touchup paint. And a few swirls on the roof (still haven't figured out how to access the middle...)

No one has mentioned the speed setting… What setting did you use?

I used 4.5 with fairly decent pressure for the first two passes and then eased it up for the last two.

Awesome, another success story! I’m glad it worked out for you.
