The paint is not original, its been repainted couple years ago, but the paint job wasnt the best. I see lots of flaws in the paint but i just wanted to make it look as good as it can get. So i did the HCP in sections all around the car, once i did the car in that i moved to the CP, and now im on the FP. I did work it in different directions, but i didnt change my pads. Are you supposed to be changing the pads that often? I thought 1 pad would be enough to do the whole car. I tried to wipe it down but its not polish residue. Theres still hairline scratches on it that didnt come out. I did a test area on my trunk, i had almost no shine in one certain area, i did it with the HCP with the microfiber pad and it came out looking good, but i did notice on the FP stage that some parts did not have enough paint and was almost going right through. But that was the worst part, the sides and the rest of the car wasnt as bad (well i thought), so i went over the rest of the car with just the HCP and blue pad instead of microfiber. Should i go back to the CP and try to get the damage out, or should i go back to HCP. Is it fine if i've aready started FP on it and i go back to CP or even HCP over top of it? And i dont have any new pads left. Can i clean them and reuse them? Thanks!

Hey guys, im in the process of detailing my 63 deville. Im using the 3 stage kit with the heavy compound polish, correcting polish, and final polish. The paint job on my car isnt all that great, but i wanted to correct as much as i can of the swirls. Well i did the car with the HCP with the blue pad, then i did the CP with orange pad. Now im doing the final polish with the white pad and im noticing that there is still quite a bit of hazing in the paint in certain spots. Im using a porter cable polisher, with the speed set on 5. I attached a picture of a section that i already went over with FP, you can still see little bit of hazing in the paint. Any recommendations into what i should do?? Thanks ahead of time!

im doing a detail also. i had poorly maintained paint with heavy swirls. I started with the Heavy Compound Polish, i did the whole car and am on the correcting polish stage now. I still see crazy amounts of haze all over the car. So i used the correcting polish, and then went over it with the finishing polish to see if the haze would be gone, but its still there. Any recommendations to what im doing wrong?? Thanks
