Maybe its not only the heat and friction that the DA polisher may need to eliminate scratches, it also requires the combination of an appropriate compound and proper techniques to eliminate deeper scratches. And it would be wrong to assume that people who says "DA polisher can do the job...

Since m205 is SMAT, remaining m205 must have clumped in the pad, have you tried spritzing a bit of water on the pad or paint surface?

Ok I will try to recall which video or article did I learn how to use my Rupes 21. I'll post it here as soon as I get it. But if you've read all the articles already, it means that you know that in order for an orbital polisher to work, the pad needs to spin. And taking in to consideration of...

If you want a very detailed and technical explanation about traditional orbital polishers and differentiate it with the long throw orbital polishers and understand how they work and how you will take advantage of its strength, search for kevin brown, there are some videos, but i suggest you read...

This is also what I believe in, i coudn't have said it better. Just to help you more ski2, in using the machine effectively, you should understand how was it designed and its concept of paint correction. Remember, unlike other orbital polishers, this has a longer throw. And this long throw...

Yes using real acid will work, look for the automotive grade acid. Just use extreme caution using it, since it may stain rubber and paint as well. and ofcourse burn your skin. That is why i prefer carpro's spotless, safe but effective.

Try using carpro spotless, hopefully this will do the trick. If you want to step it up, you will need a glass polish, a glass polishing pad and a polisher. Hope this helps.

Sorry Bob, forgot to put a coma, what i meant was, he doesnt need to worry, since with proper prep before coating application, his car will still be shiny even in the presence of OP. :xyxthumbs:

I had the same dillema 6 months ago, new car that i wanted to apply a coating, but the orange peel was bothering me, i wanted the paint to be really smooth. I was ready to get the denim pads, but then i asked my self if i remove some of the clear to make it OP free or less do i still have enough...

Its expensive to ship via air, Have it shipped instead via sea, way cheaper, but takes more time to arrive.

Megs microfiber finishing wax, smells like blueberry.

I have cquartz uk, wouldnt sonax bsd alter the self cleaning and beading properties if the coat?

Thanks! Now I am more inclined to using ONR, im just not sure if the polymers in ONR may interfere with the protective properties of the coating.

Hi there! I just want to know if there is a recommended QD out there for coatings for safely removing bird poop, bugs etc that won't interfere with the coating's surface properties? Thanks!

Carpro spotless may be the most efficient way without the use of any polisher. But if you will go the polisher route, using a paint compound & polish will definitely work, but it just takes longer. Better use ceriglass instead with their rayon pads, very effective if used properly.

Yup! Maybe your working it too long, but if you need to work it longer than usual just spray water then polish again.

Using a rotary polisher, takes time to master. But what others have said, practice first on a panel, varying on your techniques like arm speed, ensuring pad is flat on the panel, priming the pad etc, take note also of the compound you're using, like 105 which is a SMAT, you don't need to break...

I'm Assuming sodium laureth sulfate will act as a lubricant, is this correct? I am currently using 15% IPA with wash dilution of ONR. Looks like a faded eraser, lol. Works fine, used it before applying PNS. But will definitely try this one, thanks Bob!

Dry, although i tried using it diluted with distilled water 1:2, still works! but beading and hydrophobic properties are not that awesome, compared when it is used at full strength.

Hi Daimler! I see, lots of good stuff here, you will definitely learn a lot here!
