Not happy with results...

[ride5150]

Just to point out...

It's the correction step that's going to remove the deepest of the defects, not the M205 step.

Often times what happens, especially to people new to machine polishing is you remove all the shallow scratches so all that's left are the Random Isolated Deeper Scratches or as we call them, RIDS

After you remove all the zillions of shallow swirls and scratches the RIDS stand out like a sore thumb because now there's nothing left to camouflage them and these tend to drive people up the wall because most people new to machine polishing start out thinking they're going to remove 100% of ALL scratches and that's usually not the case with a daily driver nor is it a good idea.

and speed 6 is too fast. try 4 or 5 for paint correction and speed 3 for wax application. you will get better results with a slower speed. and remember ablut 10 lbs of downward force on the machine, and keep looking that the pad is spinning. if it is not spinning then its not doin anything.
