    Help w/ "jeweling" black car

    I used PB PWs/gray LC pad on speed 6 and it really amped up the shine. The car looks like the paint is still wet. It's taken alot of time and effort learning to use my PC, but the results are definitely worth it. I thought the car looked great when I bought it, but after I polished out all...

    So, just skip the PWs/white and just do PWs/gray?.....or do both steps?

    Help w/ "jeweling" black car

    I just tried a test panel on my black Mustang and got pretty darn good results using the following: SSR2.5/orange LC pad SSR1/white pad PB PWs/white pad (all passes on speed 5) If I give 'jeweling' a try should I use SSR1/gray pad AFTER the PWs step or before it?

    I'm not sure if I tried SSR2 w/ orange/SSR1 w/ orange combo or not. I'll give it a try in the morning. My passes in the video may have been erratic cause I was doing it one-handed. The polish seems to go clear pretty quickly so I don't know if I'm not using enough or if it is breaking down...

    I tried a little more polishing today. It was still a disappointment. though. I've still got micromarring occurring. I tried SSR2 w/ orange pad(2 passes), then SSr2 with gray pad(twice)= micromarring SSr2 with orange (2 passes) then SSR2 with white pad (twice) = micromarring SSR2 on...

    It's a little late for me to try XMT since I have all PB polishes right now...and I've got 4 days til cold weather hits NY. I've got Mon and Tues to get this done(will be 55+ degrees and partly sunny).

    Out of curiosity...how would using a SLOWER speed (like 4) affect my results? I'm going to try to get all of the polishing done on Mon and Tues, so I need to have all the info I can get so I don't end up spending 8 hours polishing only to end up with no results.

    Paint was clean. What you saw was polish that had splattered outside of the panel I was working on. Plus there was some SSR dust that was clinging to some of the paint.

    Am I using my PC correctly (vid) 56k ouch!

    Anyone have any thoughts on what I should try next? I've read the micromarring can be caused by not breaking down the polish or breaking it down too much....how do I know which is causing the marring? Should I be putting more pressure on the pad maybe? How many times can I go over the same...

    Well...I'm at my wits end now. I got the swirls out(95% of them), but each 1' x 1" panel I did has a lot of hazing that I quite noticeable. I have no idea what to do now. I worked 1 panel for like 8 minutes and went what I thought was slow enough. An it still shows quite a bit of hazing...

    Am I using my PC correctly (vid) 56k ouch!

    I started on my black Mustang today. I'm getting a bit frustrated. I've got a lot of light hazing now. I started with SSR2 and orange pad(2 passes). It got out the noticeable scratches. Then I used SSR1 with white pad(2 passes) then gray pad and SSR1(1 pass). When I look at the paint(from...

    Am I using my PC correctly (vid) 56k ouch!

    This is a video I took of me practicing with my new PC(on my winter car). The quality of vid is poor, sorry. Am I polishing too quickly? Does it look like I've broken down the polish enough? It was 42 degrees outside...
