Lady in Red - 1986 Porsche - 4-Step Process

That's a good guess but alas... I did not use a rotary bufer.

I'm really curious now. I read through all of the posts to make sure that you didn't answer my looming questions only to find out that you were purposely omitting the details that I'm seeking. I'm assuming now, and this is purely assumption, that you used some type of MF pad on a DA. (forced rotation?) I originally had the intent of asking if you used a rotary buffer to compound, and a DA to polish after reading other postings of yours. It's my experience that porsche has a medium / soft paint. I'm just wondering if your method is one that is also proven on a harder clear. I haven't used any type of MF/DA system but after seeing multiple positive results I'm ready to put my wheel down and try something else.

And I rarely do that, in fact I normally do just the opposite. Not only include all the details but add links to the "details" to the AG store.

Mine too but this car has been repainted and there's no info about the paint system used. I would say that it's in the medium/soft range and definitely not the medium/hard range.

I did not use microfiber pads on this project. I think I listed that I used a foam polishing pad.

Forced rotation DA? Mystery foam pads? This will bug me for days.
