    Critique my process please

    if your vehicle is that old, you will need to be agressive.... your backing plate is too big, get a 4.5" backing plate, and get some 5.5" pads, as the smaller pads will correct quicker.... your going to need more than one pad, one for each product you use.... you are going to need a cutting...

    swirls in paint

    most people will tell you that new cars come straight from the dealership with swirl marks installed free of charge....the porters that wash the cars are soo careless and dont care because most buyers dont care either.... every new car i buy gets clayed, machine polished, then sealant applied....

    Getting the PC

    something that seems to be missed here.... when polishing for correction, start with the least agressive approach... start out with a more mild polish and less agressive pad, like the white pad and do a small section on your hood and see how that works out for you, dont forget to work the...

    optimum polish question

    if you using it by hand with a microfibre hand applicator and removing with microfibre towel, you are waisting your time and money.... if you using it by hand i would atleast at a minimum use a foam applicator... if using a machine, what pad you use is going to dictate what kind of cutting...
