Alright I had to wash the car today and I noticed in some areas I have very slight spider swirls. What is the easiest way to remove them?

Has anyone over used the Red pad to remove wax or the blue pad for wax removal and final buffing? if so what technique is proper?

Ok after getting properly acquainted with my PC, pads and products. Also with a bit of help from James, here are some finished pics. Prepped the car after washing with Mothers clay bar in areas needed. Then followed with Meg final inspection. Started with the Meg. DA Microfiber compound and...

Yup that is why Im ordering those products. Thanks again James. I would like to use those other products since I got a deal on them. Just needing some advice on pad choice for each product before I place my order with autogeek.

I tried that, I had lots of issues with holograms and swirls.

I was able to get a few products for cheap: Meguiars #7 Glaze Meguiars #26 Yellow Wax Meguiars #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 I recently purchased a Meguiars polishing Kit with the 105 and 205. I found that using the orange pad with the 105 in pad areas then following with a white ccs pad with 205...

James hooked me up! He brought over some of the detailing items, we foud that the MEG microfiber cutting pad with meg microfiber compound worked very well on my car. Followed the up with some mothers polish and a white pad. He also sent me a list of some products to use. I was out running...

backing plate that came with the porter cable/meg kit. 5in. Pad size is 5.5

I dont think that is the case. I have hand detailed this car several times under the halogen light and never saw any holograms. minor swirls but no holograms. I just want to figure this out, makes no sense. I talked to James, we are going to meet up and try and figure out what the heck is...

Tried again today. The polisher is only rotating under light or no pressure. It still is oscillating but no spinning under any sort of pressure. think there is something wrong with the polisher? Im in Richmond Hill, GA. Very close to Savannah/Hinesville.

Tried what you suggested. Make a small difference. The more pressure I put on the polisher the less it rotates.:buffing:

Ford factory paint. The pad is rotating.

I have some of the pink stuff that a friend game me. I haven't used it yet. I used the stuff in the red bottle from advance autoparts.

12 x 12 5-6 passes 4.5 speed pad primed with meg quick detail, dry buffing with microfiber that was in the kit. Here are some pics after making 6 passes with the orange pad and m205......

I should have ordered the wool pad for the da and the white cutting pad. I'll see what the orange pad with the m205 will do.
