Paint Correction - So Frustrated Please Help

Are you using 5.5" or 6.5" pads? It makes a big difference in correction ability, especially on a PC.
 
One of the best days of my life was when I upgraded from a PC to a Flex. Yes the PC works but it takes soooo long in comparison to a Flex or a Rupes. My 10 y.o. son came out and started helping me with polishing so he was using the PC. I felt bad for him and that's when I picked up the Rupes. Now he gets a lot more work done. OP just keep at it and you'll get it. I found the microfiber pads cut much better with the PC than foam.
 
3 suggestions:

- Use speed 6 on the machine while compounding. The PC is pretty weak but it can correct just as well as a Flex, Rupes, Rotary, etc. if used properly. Sure it might be a little slower but you'll still get the same end results: swirl free paint.
- Use as much downward pressure as possible and still keep the pad rotating.
- Don't use QD to prime the pad. It is unnecessary if you are priming the pad with product and will simply dilute the cutting ability of your compound.

I use the PC with WG total swirl remover 3.0 on a LC flat pad (orange) and I've never had a problem. Well recently I did but the car I was working on was so scratched it was on the verge of needing a paint job.
