Re: Bought a Black Porsche 911. Need help with buffing swirls
First off, gorgeous Targa. Second, maybe the wool pad via rotary is just way too aggressive, even on a repaint. Are you checking the results after the UC? Inspect in the sun if you can after that first step. The answer may be some tweaking on technique. I strictly use a Flex and PC these days with foam pads. I retired my rotary since I am doing mostly Porsche's with factory (soft) paint. There are a ton of rotary experts on here and hopefully they will chime in.

Re: Bought a Black Porsche 911. Need help with buffing swirls
I was hopin you were closer. Is it possible that new swirls are being introduced during a wipedown? That happens to my 944 all the time (prior to Cquartz). I would tape off a small section and lets try to get that perfected first. You will need to play around with speed settings, product, pad etc. Sun tests are a must between steps on a black car. if you can perfect that one spot, then you have your process essentially dialed in. Patience, patience, paitence. Polishing paint is a marathon not a sprint. We are here for ya!

wool pad is too aggressive to go straight to a gray pad with 205. maybe a polish pad with the same compound will remove most of the holograms. IMO.

Re: Bought a Black Porsche 911. Need help with buffing swirls
I'm certainly new to using a polisher, so I'm not giving advice, but asking a question: After some things I've learned from you guys over the last few months, wouldn't he be better off with something like Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover, Wolfgang Finishing Glaze & Wolfgang Paint Sealant, with a DA and foam pads.........since this is newer paint and he's dealing with swirls not deep scratches?

Re: Bought a Black Porsche 911. Need help with buffing swirls
Another noob here, but my guess is that going from the wool pad/compound to black pad/m205 is too big of a step. The black pads have no cut. If I were you I would try the m205 with a white pad and then see if you can get the swirls out.
Just noticed that this is basically what Jhaight11 said.
