Ok, I've read and read, and looked at several "how-to" articles on here. Great resource, by the way -but still have questions.

Anyway, I have a couple family cars I'm trying to work on and the Wolfgang twins don't remove all the freakin' scratches and water spots I'd like.

I've been using an orange LC CCS pads with a PC 7424 for the Swirl remover and this doesn't even begin to touch the scratches I'm looking at. Tried applying 15-20 lbs. of pressure and making multiple section passes and my "test spot" never really cleans up that much.

Do I need to switch to a yellow pad? Or should I stick to the orange pad and try a more aggressive product? And, if so, what???

Thanks!

p.s. I realize some of these scratches would probably have to be wet-sanded and I'm NOT ready to go there yet. I just want to clean up the majority of them.
 
More knowledgeable people will chime in but from doing my own truck I would go with Megs 105/surbuf pad,go slow,work small areas and finish with 205/white pad.

M105 is what your looking for. Surbuf pads are my go to when working with deeper scratches. Then use orange pad with M105 and then finish polishing with M205 with white pad. I would not jump from surbuf to white because the surbuf pads are really aggressive and most of the time white won't finish perfect.
 
Cool...so is the surbuf pad more aggressive than a yellow pad?
