    Re: How low is too low - in polishing paint

    Essentially an AIO is a heavy cleaner wax, so basically you aren't really removing anything, you're just "filling"... Meaning that the scratches are still there, you just can't see them...

    Re: How low is too low - in polishing paint

    Now that's an entirely different ballgame - using the rotary... With a rotary you could do a boatload of damage :)

    Re: How low is too low - in polishing paint

    That's funny :) Honestly, to make yourself feel better, go grab a hood or body panel from a junkyard, and do your best to get "through" the paint down to the actual base coat or even primer, using...

    I can't remember the exact phrasing the writers used, but essentially certain chemicals damaged the "flex" agent over time...

    Re: How low is too low - in polishing paint

    You are polishing, not compounding. First of all, the DA you are using was pretty minimal "cutting" ability (the amount of defects it can remove - which also means you can't remove much paint or...

    Re: How low is too low - in polishing paint
