Get a Rupes Mini. You can't beat it in smaller areas. Regardless of what you decide to use be real darn careful around sharp corners and any edge.

I've tried to make that clear in many threads.....

No..... Sonax Perfect Finish does not work well with any microfiber pads, at least in my experience. SPF with the Rupes yellow or white foam pads works extremely well. SPF has a tendency to build up, so make sure you have plenty of pads :dblthumb2: Sorry if I said it backwards before.

(Greed pad + Zephir) and (White pad + Ultra Diamond) are two of my favorite combinations. I like Keramik (yellow polish) on Rupes yellow microfiber pads better than Rupes yellow polishing pad. I use Sonax Perfect Finish on Rupes yellow pad almost exclusively.

Sounds like you're just not putting enough on. I imagine 1 liter would be about right for a small hatchback. I had to use 2 liters on a white Mercedes sedan. Make sure every inch of the entire car is saturated. It should drip off the car onto the ground. Iron Out is expensive. I charge...

1 minute is not enough time to let Iron Out work. 5 minutes minimum, 15 minutes maximum. Let it soak indoors just like you are and don't let it dry. I do not spread it around by hand I just make sure everything is coated. I probably use too much but that's okay.

Advice: - Tape off the decals really well. These can be rather expensive to replace, and Porsche owners tend to love them. - Soak the car in Iron Out in the shade for 10-15 minutes. You'll be surprised what comes off when you rinse it. - Once you think it's rinsed off, keep rinsing. - Porsche...

You will never go wrong with a persoak no matter how "lightly dirty" you think a car is. The goal is to remove as many contaminants as possible using the least aggressive methods possible before a contact wash.

I had to channel the patience of Paul Dalton on this one. I admit I got upset with it more than once. I work slowly so another detailer could have done it in less time. Depends on the condition of the paint. If it's thrashed like this I can only get about one large panel out of a 3" disk...

With all due respect I think you are wasting your time and money. Use the Megs polisher exactly as you are now and no further.

Auto Finesse Tripple is #1 in the AIO game right now. Very impressive product. The protection part of the AIO is weak though...put some wax over it.

Swissvax Mystery is my favorite wax on black. It will squeeze every last bit of depth out of black ***IF*** the paint is properly prepared. Otherwise you are wasting your money.

I appreciate that. It really was a monumental effort to save this car. I was very fortunate to get the results that I did. When the paint laughs at Rupes and Megs cutting disks with Rupes Zephire, you know you're in trouble. No way I could have done it without wet-sanding. 3M Trizact really...

The best products I know of for old dried wax removal are Lusso Pant Cleaner and Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Regular.

Wet sanding is much safer because it generates almost zero heat...clearcoats do not like heat. It leaves the surface completely flat, and it works very quickly.

Leatherique.

Stop looking for more aggressive polishes and pads. Wet sanding is much safer, faster, and effective.

That really is a fantastic job my friend. I can tell you have wet sanded successfully before. Like Phillips says, "do not wet sand where you cannot get a polisher" and you did that. Excellent work around the emblems and such. If you were to sell this car, what would be an opening bid?

I cannot see the pictures.

On Rupes pads it only takes 3 dime sized drops. On Rupes or Megs cutting disks you have to do a full prime.
