Help - First timer trying to Polish and Wax with DA (having some issues)

[TurboToys]

Thank you sir, Nothing to be sorry about it, leaning is the only way to get better, I've been taking notes and researching everything you guys had posted so I can get to the right combination. I specially like the feedback from those steps that had already work on Porsche paint.

I'll get some of that D114 and I think i got everything else.

y the way something I am not 100% if I understand...that D114 you recommend would be consider a QD, right?

the 114 was just a suggestion, something else you have might work just as good, was just giving an example as to why other products would work even though they aren't the same.

I am also new to detailing. I have used griot's 2 and 3 polishes before. What I learned is that you have to work the area for awhile and break the polish down. Once you worked the area for awhile the minimal amount of residue left came right off. I learned also that I was using way too much polish to begin with after the intial coating of the pad and removal was a PITA. I've only used my buffer a couple times so don't take my word as the bible.

I couldn't find much info about Griot's polishes and comparisons either so I ordered Wolgang polishes and compound since I own a corvette and those came highly recommended.

It might also help you to take some more pics of what your dealing with so members can get an understanding. I can't imagine all that would be paint chips and might just be hard water spot etchings.

TurboToys,

Thank you for the information

You should give Eraser a try vs. your Homebrew (IPA/QD) and let us know the results. It would be an interesting comparison

Need to finish off with a fine polish. Porsche paint is soft. You can use IPA on Porsche I've done plenty of them. Don't apply apply alot of pressure when wiping down. Eraser is the rich mans IPA. Nonetheless, it's great.

Thank you sir, I will give it another try this weekend and take better pics.
