No idea... all I know is M105 + MF cutting pad cut out the swirls but there are still plenty of scratches still there that bug me. I can see in 3 months or so pulling out a wool pad.

^ Yes I truly wish I had something more aggressive on hand... surbuf, LC Thin Wool or a Carpro Cool Wool pad would of been much better... oh well, now I know. When you think a microfiber cutting pad is the most aggressive you'll need, think again.

PC DA. No, not possible. I did a 50/50 test on my trunk lid and initially had plans of using an orange LC pad and FG400, but when that didnt cut enough I pulled out the Microfiber Cut Pad and D300. Then MF and M105. The 50/50 showed that I got the swirls and fine scratches out, but the...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Using a DA. Its a daily driver, I put 100 miles on her a day. I guess Im just a bit dissapointed because for some reason I thought my paint was softer then it is from previous spot hits. Then I go over the entire car with a fairly aggressive combo and its still...

I took the day off work today to work on my Audi. I did a test spot with FG400 and an orange pad, no dice, still scratches. I then hit it with a Meguiars MF Cutting pad & D300 with some M105 mixed in - then straight M105... still scratches. I don't have any wool pads, but is that my next...

Menzerna SF4000. Decent cut and finishes down to perfection.

If your paint is hard, I would go wtih something like PF2500 If its soft, SF4000 might be enough.

Sonax Perfect Finish

NuFinish of course ! :)

If its velcro and 'sticks', I don't see a problem

Do a spot test buddy. YOU tell US if SF4000 works for you.

yes, but AG doesn't seem to sell them. other vendors do

yeah, it should. it removes paint, it should remove the coating.

spit shine ?

Sheesh man... It honestly seems like the only polish you have is SF4000 and you want to make it work, not matter what. FG400 is not "overkill". It will remove your defects in 1 shot, without a doubt, leaving SF4000 for gloss. Your not going to strip all your paint off using FG400... get it...

I'm done with wax simply becuase coatings repel dirt better.

from my conversation with Menzerna US, SF4000 & SF4500 have the same size abrasives... but SF4000 has more of them (or the other way around, can't remember). They both finish down almost identical (you can't tell the difference). SF4000 has the benefit of more cut, so you can easily follow...

Go two step. Orange pad with FG400, Crimson (or black) Pad with SF4000 EXCELLENT results on just about every paint.

Any further input from folks personal preference? And also what compound you've found works best?

It does, thanks :)
