  1. Did you put them on a drill and use them as a rotary?  I've NEVER had one fail me for scratch removal.  They truly rock!  

    no i dont have a drill just used it on my DA, will borrow a drill this weekend and see where it gets me, how long do you polish on the same spot with those 4in pads? and how much pressure do you apply using your drill? well i guess i'll just watch one of the videos...

     

    didn't think i needed a drill because the DA seemed to rotate it pretty well but i will definitely give it a try! 

  2. Hello, this is my first time doing a full correction and i need some help!

     

    car has never seen any exterior pampering in its life ('07 subaru) and its time to give it some love!

     

    working on one of the doors (mentally split into 4 squares and polishing each section individually)

     

    here are the steps:

     

    1.wash/clay

    2.prime green foam pad with detail spray

    3. X shaped single application of SSHR

    4.spread the polish around (quarter size of a door only without powering on the power tool which its a DA btw)

    5.speed 1 and walk it around the area quickly to make sure the product is evenly covering the area.

    6.speed 6 > 1 full pass

    7.check if pad is moist (completely dry = mist with detail spray once or twice)

    8.once in a while adding pea drops of polish to pad and a quick brush off with a tooth brush to refresh the foam. 

     

    working very slowly with enough pressure to be able to count the rotations (backing place is marked for better visual), making about 8-9 full passes

     

    swirls are gone but scratches dont seem to come out, need some pointers on how to get rid of them!! have tried orange 4in pads with SSHR mounted on my DA at speed 4-5 with not much success (slight improvements over a long period of time) for ex. it took me about 4 hr's to do just one front fender and it is still not where i want it to be! (not shooting for 100% perfection)

     

     

    question 2. how do you guys remove scratches that are very close to the panel edge (area around the edge is highly sensitive and it is easier to go through clear or at least that's what my research showed)

     

    see photos attached.
