I am working on a 2001 Mercedes S420 black oem paint.
The paint suffers from heavy rids, marring, and some random deep scratches.
I am having a hard time removing the massive rids on this car. Perhaps the paint is very hard?
What I am using:
Flex 3401
LC CCS yellow cutting pad
LC CCS green heavy polishing pad
LC CCS white polishing pad
Surbuff pad
Meguiars M105, M205, Ultimate Compound, SwirlX
Techniques used and result:
Polish at speed 6 with yellow pad M105 4 pass - removed 70% of defect
Polish at speed 5 with yellow pad SwirlX 2 pass - removed NO defect
Polish at speed 5 with Surbuff pad M105 3 pass - added micro marring
Polish at speed 5 with white pad Swirl X 3 pass - removed NO defect
Used KBM method and used slow moving pass with polisher
Do I need to move up to rotary?
In the sun the paint looks good for most people
If I shine a Brinkmann light to it I see massive RIDS ans swirls
I gave up after 1 hour on a test panel
Any ideas?
