I have a question. I'm not sure if anyone can answer it or maybe I'm just confusing my self

So let's says I'm working on a car-The paint is in brutal shape!!!

I pull out the rupes and a microfiber cutting pad with an aggressive Compound like FG400. I do 6 passes-STOP- and inspect. There are still several defects

Ok so would I go to a rotary and a wool pad?

And let's say i do, would I follow up with a DA With the same aggressive compound and a lighter pad or the same pad with a less aggressive compound?

Thanks

I hope this makes since

Cheers
Nick

Does the paint seem really hard...or are the defects just that deep?? Pictures would be very helpful.
 
Where do you live? What color are your eyes? Are you over 21? Do you like beer?

What's the problem?

Looks like you might just have some light marring from the compounding step. Follow up with a polish on the DA.
 
Wow seeing the before and after is a night and day difference!! Whatever you are doing just keep it up!! Excellent work based on the photos
 
I still don't get your question. The after looks very good. Now you just need something more gentle. BTW, try wool pads on the Rupes if you want to cut "FAST"

Huh, I hadn't heard of the wool on Rupes combo. Better than the forced rotation of a Flex?
 
Yes - because Rupes cuts better. Though flex iss very good as well.
