HotRodDaddy-O Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Howdy People. After purchasing and using the Adam's Brilliance Flex Machine Polshing Kit, in the sunlight, I am seeing white swirls on the black paint. I joined here to learn what I am doing wrong and get more tips on polishing paint in general. Cheers, Lance b_pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralfy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Welcome!! What your seeing sounds like micromarring. Either to much pressure or dry buffing. The more experienced will chime in also! HotRodDaddy-O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Welcome Lance, beautiful car! I agree with Ralf, it sounds like micromarring with the finishing polish. Try to put up some pictures of the issue if you can. HotRodDaddy-O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Welcome to the forum. As a former "black" owner, I can tell you that I never (well, only once or twice) used a machine on mine. Hand polish all the way. Revive, Swirl and Haze Remover, Brilliant Glaze, and Americana or Buttery Wax are a black cars best friends. That's a beauty too!

HotRodDaddy-O Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thank you for the input guys. After searching the machine polish forum, I am just guessing but, I think you guys would refer to it as hazing. It looks like swirls of product left behind, not scratches, if that's what micromarring looks like. I'm still learning the correct phrases here. If I can't polish it out, I will post a thread with pics on the machine polishing forum. Thank you again for your input, it is much appreciated.

If you see it coming off then its leftover product. It sounds more like you're possibly not working the PFP long enough. If you're using the MF pads you could also try stepping down to the white foam pad with the PFP to see if it finishes better.

Sorry for the SO late reply. Don Juan nailed it. The "swirls" cleaned up with detail spray. I'm not a dumbass. It was late and I was tired. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Lol. I went from claying the entire car, to multiple levels of polishing to glaze to waxing. Here's a recent pic from Goodguys Pleasanton. Paint looks AWESOME! If I can do this, ANYONE can! THANK YOU guys again for your replies and help! Edited June 20, 2014 by HotRodDaddy-O mc2hill and Team Adam's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
