Re: First post.....
Oh I forgot, you’ll wash your car on Sunday which of course you’ll get the eye roll, THEN the car will get dusty or in my case yesterday had a super light rain/sprinkle just enough to raise the pollen/dust on the car and you do a quick rinseless wash when you get home!
Welcome to the rabbit hole!

Welcome!
My addiction is feeling the slippery surface when I grad the door handle.... knowing the rest of the car is the same!

Welcome to AGO, Paul!
Like Mike P said, those swirls look very minor. Do you own a machine polisher?
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Hi Paul, yes I do. I own 2 DAs, one with 6 inch backing plate and the other with a 3 inch backing plate. I’m not sure what to do to take this to the next step. I moved this to the Auto detailing 101 forum, where Mike suggested that the issue could be that I’ve got soft paint. Problem is I don’t know what to do about it if soft paint IS indeed the issue.

Re: First post.....
Couple of questions:
1. what kind of car
2. What product did you/are you using
3. What pads are you using
I had a similar experience with my black Acura that has super soft paint when I used an inferior product with crappy abrasives.
With the help of Mike P and the rest of the forum, I used Blackfire One Step with LC white pads and it came out amazing...real amazing too!

Hi Jay, thanks for your reply....
It’s a 2011 Jaguar XJ (X351)
I compounded the paintwork with Meguiars DA compound and MF cutting disc to remove all the heavy defects.
Next I tried to refine he finish using Sonax perfect finish with Rupes yellow pads, also tried Chemical guys hex logic green polishing pads.
I also have Rupes white fine polishing pads but have not tried them yet.
While I’m writing this, I remember that the car has had a front end re-spray a couple of years ago.... would this then rule out the soft paint theory? The photos I posted were of the front wing.
Thanks,
Paul.
