Re: Scratches on a black car
Yellow is not enough cut to remove light scratches.It could be done if you polished till 2017.upgrade your pad with a microfiber cutting pad and they will be gone,then use the yellow to refine the finish with a polish.

Re: Scratches on a black car
Honestly, it's been mainly production detailing and I don't think there is any harm in that. I've detailed many people's cars and always explained what I could do and couldn't do before I went to an appt. I'm just trying to grow as a detailer, I guess this forum isn't the place for that??
Thanks for the advice GSKR, problem solved.

Sure it is, and welcome to the forum! I'm just a little surprised that someone with a detailing business with pictures of Audis, BMW's and Benzes on his site is asking what seems to be a basic question. I guess it's a pet peeve of mine that people get into business doing this (and your business advertises as a service "minor scratch removal"--same as you said your car has) and yet apparently haven't even developed the skills to correct their own car.
But you've come to the right place so keep asking questions.

If you look on the Autogeek site it says that the yellow Lake Country pad is for severe oxidation, swirls and scratches.
Re: Scratches on a black car
I've never had an issue before using it so I wasn't sure why it wouldn't work this time. This is a hobby turned business for m based on how many requests I've gotten to do other vehicles. Sorry if I offended anyone. I am all self taught through trial and error as well as videos on line. This is the first time I had an issue using this method. That's why I joined the forum so I can get better and turn this hobby/side business into something more. I never knew that the microfiber pad was the way to go. I am going to try that.

Yeah, I was going to chime in with that. I've never had to go beyond an orange LC or B & S pad.
I would suggest investing in the HD line of products and master them.
3D Professional Detailing Products, HD car care, 3D HD
HD Cut
HD Adapt
HD Polish
HD Speed AIO
and Poxy for an LSP.
You can get all of them in 16 oz bottles for $87.95
What a bargain!
