Help with sapphire black 650 swirls

Its not your pad, you need a more aggressive cutting compound. UC is more akin to a medium polish. Get something decent.

I have finished flawless with that Rupes pad on plenty black Bmw paint. Its not the pad, you need something more aggressive from a compound side, AG has plenty options almost all good. You can then go to a milder pad and finishing polish, again plenty options there too.

Compound and pad then technique once you are all over those then the machine may be a constraint....

Try the newly realeased sonax cut and polish.We at autogeek did a horrific swirled out mustang by caveman compound and a dirty wool pad from a painter.I enjoy working on horrific stuff like that.Mike introduced this product last nigh,with a 3401 with a orange foam pad we knocked it out in a onestep.Then we applied sonax pnsheild.follow the thread today if Mike is able to post pics this stuff is unbelievable.It has a cut of 5'amd a polish of 5.on the BMW you can use sonax with a polishing pad or alternate the cut by different pads.

How hard was the paint on the vehicle you worked? How would you compare this new Sonax polish to Menzerna 400 or 2500?

I'm always on the hunt for a polish that works well as a one-step on hard, dark colored paint. I don't see anything from Mike yet this morning. Going to keep an eye out for this one!

My '07 BMW Sapphire Black loves Menzerna FG400 when needed. Sometimes with a LC white pad and sometimes an orange pad to "nudge" just a little more bite.
