You should be good after you come back with full polish. Start with the 4000, see if it goes away. What pad you got?
How many MF pads did you use on the first cut?

Yeah, before you chalk it up as a fail you must polish. The white pads and your 4500. Let us know

I don't see any rust in the fenders. Just dirty felt liners and a pitted fender edge. That's normal wear and tear. To avoid that, you'd need to install PPF on that fender edge.

Just to note,
The word hologram is specific to the scratch pattern imparted into paint by the use of a rotary buffer. You cannot put holograms into car paint using any type of orbital polisher.
Orbital polishers put micro-marring into car paint but not holograms.
Also - fibers are a form of abrasives. If you use a microfiber pad, the fibers CUT the paint. Think about it, isn't this why everyone uses microfiber pads to do a better job of removing defects? Another way of saying removing defects is say,
Removing paint
In other words, microfiber pads do a better job of removing paint because they do a better job of CUTTING the paint than foam pads. This cutting shows up as micro-marring when you use a microfiber pad on an orbital polishers. If you put the same microfiber pad on a rotary it would then put in holograms.
Clear as mud?
To the OP - simply re-polish using a foam pad.

Thanks, Mike!
That's the plan and thanks for the quick breakdown.

Sooo...I tried to knock it out this past weekend. I gave her a wash...but when I brought her out in the light to do an inspection of the paint after FG400 and Megs MF pad from last week...the whole paint looked like this. I did a test portion on the door using the 4500 and with the white foam pad and it did nothing.
I am a newb...are these RIDS? Should the FG400 and MF pad not have taken these out? They're really bad on the hood, but they're all over the car.
The paint looks amazing 90% of the time, but when you hit it in direct sunlight you see this all over the car. It's not super noticeable... Pic below adjusted to show the scratches as best as I can. Paint looks awesome though (for most part).
Anyway, I said I had enough for now. Felt defeated haha. So I said it looks good for what I am looking for and will pick up probably in the spring. I am happy to where it is now compared to where it was. Looks a ton better...but these little scratches (spiderwebbing?) sucks when I see it in the right light.
I finished it off with Menz Powerlock for the winter and will probably just do waterless washes from this point forward. Getting cold around here.
Thoughts?
