    What kind of car is this? What pads are you using? Have you tried any different compounds/polishes?

    How many passes, and at what speed is your machine?

    The cutting step, it seems, is not working. It also seems that the pressure you're putting is a bit too much, you are starting to burn the corners. It looks like marrying inflicted by wool with a rotary.
    CG V series is not a mature product, to put it mildly. I would use Menzerna FG400 or HD Cut. Audi usually has hard clearcoat, therefore, the cutting stage is very important to get it right, or else you overload the following stages.
    I think, imho, the biggest problem is your choice of polishing compounds; Menzerna is the way to go with german cars.

    You can't go wrong with Menz FG400. The hex logic pads from CG are crap too.

    I def agree on that one, one pad fell apart after one whole car I pretty much followed their instructions 1 pass slow to spread then 3 passes at max speed mid pressure till product became clear

    Agreed. IMO that's mostly likey just products that aren't doing a damn thing or possibly poor technique. I'd wager on the products. I mean come on... 4 steps these days? Products have come such a long way that you barely need 2 anymore. FG400 is what you need. It puts everything else to shame.
