Question from UDM Newb

[oneseba]

So I tried polishing my brilliant black Audi, that car have a concrete for cleat coat. Anyways, some areas I was able to rid of the swirls, some I didn't. I'm using UDM with CCS white pad (6.5") and Menzerna 106FF. I was using speed 6 working the polish slowly and seem to vibrate a lot when not held at an ideal angle. Anyways my problem is that the polish at hi-speed setting does not seem to rotate unless I hold it firmly and the pad seem to enlarge by a least 20%. Is this normal? It doesn't seem effective at that point, is that time to grab a new pad?

CCS Pads show some spreading ... if 106FF is not working you can move to a more abrasive pad or Menz SIP first, and then come back.

Thanks Killr, before shelling out for the SIP, should I give the Nano a try with the low profile orange pad that came with the kit or maybe a green spot pad?

I would go to orange if not happy with 106FF and white pad. Not sure where the green fits abrasively, if between the two then go there first.
