A little help

[Loner5777j]

So I've been beating my head against the wall. I've gotten I'd say 90% correction on my 2008 Chevy avalanche factory paint, but can't get those last rids. Anyone have an idea? I've got damn near everything in my arsenal, just need a little direction on where go from hereView attachment 27182View attachment 27183

Thanks guys, it's just frustrating to not get 100% swirl and scratch free. This paint is kinda unforgiving. I want to opticoat it, but don't know if its worth it with the remaining scratches

I'm amazed at how nice the finish came out and especially since the vehicle is a 2008 and the fact it's a daily driver. We all strive for perfection and in our mind this "should" be achievable but the reality is the finish is 5 years old and "perfection" can be elusive at best.

If the finish was brand new with added coats of clear then possibly wet sanding each panel and painstakingly working each to perfection is the only way I could achieve perfection...in my mind.

Could you eek out a little more gloss? Possibly and I say that because it's already looking great. I would be ecstatic achieving these results and they would qualify for Optimum's Opti-Coat 2.0 hard coating to protect and enhance that gorgeous shine.
