Major problems!!!

I have gone through the clearcoat in thin areas with a PC using an orange LC pad and SSR2.5.

As was stated, a PC is a great tool, but areas which have been made "thin" through repeated polishing or were just thin to begin with are susceptible to CC break through even with a PC.

In order to remove the swirls you have to remove CC (no matter what machine you use) and there is a point where you might just need to live with some swirls/fine scratches. JMO.

yea i tried out the orange with 3... nothing and now im worrying its gonna burn more even if open areas... i think maybe just got one of thos estubborn cars. cuz when i tested the truck it was a joke...oh well

Thanks... you make a valid point.. im very sad cuz its a black car...but it seems that there very deep swrils.. i mean the ssr and yellow wouldnt pull them out.. hell it was gonna take the paint before swrils lol. Guess i might let it be for a while...but it cant definately burn cuz the paint does warm upalot.

I sympathize. It is possible that the defects are in the base paint. You never know the quality of the factory paint job and clearcoating, and some areas are just thin on CC to begin with.
