Need help with black paint correction on 2015 Nissan sentra
Ive searched high and low to find a solution to my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am still learning how to paint correct so please bare with me.
I have a 2015 black Nissan sentra that had a few scratches and swirls from being a daily driver here in LA, bad washing and exposed to the elements.
What I did: washed, Clay using a clay mit, Polished it using the Meguiars DA Microfiber cutting pad on M205 , the Flex DA was used. It looked great until I hit it with the light. I saw a bunch of Haze and swirls left by the cutting pad. So I switched pads now and used the Meguiars DA Microfiber finishing pad on M205 now. The results worsened. So I cleaned the Finishing pad as to not cross contaminate and I try V38 from chemical guys and these are the results. I cannot see the true color of the paint. What am I doing wrong? Can a professional please school me. Thank you

try a foam polishing pad & polish and see where that gets you...

Microfiber + Soft paint would be my guess.
Try a foam polishing pad and that should help. M205 vs V38 really? M205 is a 100 times nicer, stick to it.
Always go least aggressive first....especially on Japanese cars.

I've got a white Lexus that I might be polishing in the next couple of days.. I've got a weird feeling I might run into this same sort of problem with that paint. I haven't decided whether I'm going to use Essence or M205 on it, but if it turns out results like this [and similar to the Kia] Then I'm not going to mess around and waste any time trying to get cute with it.. I'm bringing plenty of foam cutting/polishing pads and the Boss Correcting + Fast Correcting Cream. Booya!

It's just your typical soft Japanese paint. Just use a nice light polishing pad of some kind, that's all. Technically speaking, you don't have to have microfiber pads for most polishing jobs for Japanese cars, just some orange pads and a good compound. I've only corrected mazda and toyota but an orange pad and compound followed by a polishing pad and finishing polish is more than enough.

Do not use microfiber pads on soft paint. M205 does not finish well on soft paint, in my experience. V38 isn't good, period. All the products you've stated do better on hard paint.

151 on a foam orange or fg 400.

Yes which is why I used M205 first but the paint didn't like it. I also tried 205 with a finishing foam pad and had similar results. I used V38 in hopes I would get better results than the M205 with this type of paint.
So I'm digging into my arsenal and found this finishing polish. I will give it a shot with a foam finishing pad on the flex, or should I use a rotary? . I hate soft black paint! If this does not work, I will buy what ever polish and pads are needed.

I use a CG pad cleaner then I hose it down with water pressure. Then spin dry it on the rotary so that I can use it quicker
