Back in October I had picked up a 2000 Corvette FRC and it was in desparate need of some paint correction. Now that I've got a PC I've been able to get to work on it with some success though I can't say I'm completely satisfied with my work just yet.
I started with a wash then claying the car twice, doing so made me think that this poor car had never been clayed in all its life. After that I used the following process with the PC:
SSHR w/green pad- Prime the pad with DS, setting of 3, worked until clear, seems to have a fairly long open time compared to SHR. Prime pad with DS then work at a setting of 4
SHR w/orange pad- Prime the pad with DS, setting of 3, worked until clear, primed pad DS, setting of 4, worked until clear, primed pad with DS, setting of 4.5, worked until clear
FMP w/ white pad- Setting of 4, worked until clear, prime pad, setting of 5, worked until clear then wiped the surface clear.
After following this process, I'll find that the large majority of the swirls will be gone but I can still see some very small swirls when I get up close to the paint with a light. Is there anything that you can see from my process that I can change in order to get rid of those swirls that are left? Thanks in advance!
