Help - I screwed up!

Pictures you posted makes it hard to see what is going on. Maybe if you took one with a bigger angle?

How are you cleaning the pannel after the compound/polish? It kinda looks like residue on there.

After the compound/polish, I just spray/wipe with 30% IPA solution. I'll get a better picture in the sun in a few hours.

you need to finish with something with less cut, M205 as the same results on my soft Toyota black. something like carpro reflect or Menz 4000 would help clear that up.

Do tell pad and polish combo

Green hex logic, Ultimate Compound. It was my one of my neighbors hot rods. Single stage paint.

Burned my car - which was a repaint, probably with spray cans. That was with m105 on a rupes microfiber pad.

I also burned off the clear of a test door over the winter, but that was after buffing out many varieties of sanding marks.

You may want to try out Meg's Ultimate Compound/Polish on the white pad. Did you prime the pad and everything. The only other thing ive heard with 105 is that it dusts a lot... maybe you were working it a long time?

Now what have I done? This was a test spot. Did a few passes with some pads and polishes, and now I have a light spot? Doesn't look any less black under bright lights, only evening sun set light shows this. Paint almost looks duller too.

That is burn through.

What was the machine/pad/polish combo?

Oh boy... Can you get us a few more pictures? Closer and different angles preferably.

Looks like a burn through on cc paint, not sure about single stage, but it sure looks like it.
