I was very excited to try out my new Porter Cable on my TBSS. I had already done a mild paint correction a few months ago with the hand applicators. After a few passes of all 3 polishes, I'm still finding quite a few scratches in the clearcoat. I taped off a place for a comparison. Sucky iPhone pic, I agree, but it's all I have...
The "taped" section is about the width of the reflection of the light... Hopefully you all can see it. I had no luck photographing the scratches still there. So my question is...
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to go over it a few more times with the 3 polishes? Am I not spending enough time on each section? Have I reached the limit of what the PC can do? Am I being too picky?
I did clean my pads about halfway through the truck with the pad cleaning brush (over the trash can). I'm not sure how clean they actually came - in the video, Dylan uses a Flex. On speed 1 with the PC, it hardly vibrates enough for any noticeable debris, and definitely doesn't spin at all.
