    Try using an orange pad and if that doesn't work, move up to Ultimate Compound with a white pad.

    I tried the orange pad and well that didnt work either. You're saying ultimate compound? The scracthes are so fine they can only be seen in sun. I would think m205 and white should get them out.

    Well if orange and 205 did not take it out your technique may be the problem or you need a heavier polish. Do smaller sections 18"X18" and slow arm speed (1 second per inch). BTW what buffer are you using?

    Is the pad actually turning?
    Might be too much pressure.

    Your clear is hard and might need UC and finish down with Ultimate Polish or 205.
