Cant get swirls out of paint 00 trans am firehawk

[KneeDragr]

My brother has a 00 firehawk and i cant seem to make the paint awesome like my 04 red Monte Carlo , same products used . So i need more cut . I've been using an orange pad with the orange pinnacle xmt . I don't know what else to try or use , im a diyer and don't want to buy so many different things and take forever on a car , 8-10 hrs max .

I think the orange is the intermediate. what should i be using , ive heard the 98-02 fbodies have very hard clear coat .

Using a 7424xp ive done about 6 cars now and everything has come out better than this firehawk and cant dissapoint . My brother thinks i have no skills now .

Which pads are you using? Ive used the LC hydro techs for a while and the orange pads dont cut much at all, even with a compound, but if you switch to blue it makes quick work of moderate swirls. The orange is for cleaning up the marring the blue leaves behind.

Good eye... and you're absolutely correct. AND this would make a HUGE difference as the blue cyan foam cutting pad in the Hydro-Tech line are quite a bit more aggressive than the tangerine polishing pads.

To the OP, try using a true foam cutting pad next time...


Good catch KneeDragr...

he told me 105 205 combo but made me worried when he talked about it drying out and other things . Ive done about 6 cars and ive watched junkman videos and been on here for a while but ive never been shown how to work with it . So im worried that i wont be able to just pick it up and use it .

You know, I created a thread for guys and gals just like you. :xyxthumbs:
