    Questions about machine polishing

    Perhaps it’s residual Colinite 475s? Seems unlikely as it seems to wear off after a few days in the weather but I’ve heard of stranger things?

    Questions about machine polishing

    Hit it again... 8-10 passes, slow arm speed on a honey pad, with S40 on a test spot (12”x12”). Still no big change. Paint doesn’t show any marring or swirls with a good LED flashlight, but I still feel like it lacks depth. Oh well, that’s as good as I can get it...

They do provide a useful amount of cut to help remove marring from more aggressive compounding...

    Questions about machine polishing

    Found this suggestion somewhere else: Application: For best results use Scholl Concepts white Spider Pad or Navy blue Spider pad. After spreading across 2-2.5 Ft area on low speed, work at speed 4-5 applying moderate pressure through the first half of the cycle. Next use progressively lighter...
