    Re: I cause swirls when polishing with DA, what am I doing wrong?

    I am having the same issues you are having except my paint is black . I am getting out a lot of the major defects but for some reason the pads are leaving behind micro swirls. I don't think my towels are causing the micro swirls as I am wiping off the polish because they are fresh out of the bag and are pretty good quality (CG). I have tried all different kinds of variations with the chemical guys pads and polishes and I can't seem to get a clear finish on my paint. I have gotten some great advice from a well renowned detailer. His advice to me was to use a MEGS microfiber cutting pad with M105 and then to follow it up with M205 with a yellow/white Rupes pad.

    Let me know if you fixed your issue with the swirls you are getting. Maybe it could be pad contamination? Maybe it could be products not working with the paint well? I'm not sure based on all the different opinions I have gotten.

    Check out my videos on youtube to get an idea of what I am talking about (micro swirls)
