I thought I was content with the results, but of course the more and more I thought about it, the more I suffered from detail-itis!!!
My car is 09' Honda Accord mystic green metallic. Also was told it's soft paint whatever that means.
My question is, the following:
Purchased a brand new Griots Garage 6 along with Meguiars cutting pad which is the burgundy looking one 6", the yellow polishing pad and the black finishing pad. Product I bought are ultimate compound, ultimate polish and ultimate liquid wax
My goal is to do I believe is called a paint correction. I had white looking scratches that I seemed to get out but I still see swirl marks on the car. I'll try to add pictures soon.
Till then, question is, is it possible to cause more swirl marks or have permanent swirl marks in general?
In daylight it looks like a majority of it is gone, but at night under the parking lighting say at Home Depot, I can see signs of scratches. Those scratches are nowhere close to nail deep by the way. If I am causing more problems I would like to know if I dug myself too deep and can still fix it!!
The first time I did the correction swirls were for the most part taken out after two passes. Do I need more passes.? I use pressure about 5-10 pounds. Should I more so let the machines weight do all the work on a flat surface or should I add more downward force?
Do I need more of an aggressive approach like different pads and products?? Is there no such thing as perfection??
( I understand there are limitations to what a product can do but if it can be better I would like to know)
