I've got an '18 Challenger I bought used last year and the previous owner did an absolutely abysmal job maintaining the paint. I don't think the dealership he traded it off to did it any favors, either. I've managed to get a lot of the damage out with Compound and blue pads, but I'm still noticing a lot of tiny flaws virtually everywhere that are more visible in certain light angles. You can really see the surface damage at sunset when you're getting that massive blast of light from the front or rear of the car as opposed to up top.
Short of having to wet sand anything, is there an Adams product or method that can cut just a little deeper than the blue pads to try and eliminate these flaws? Some are scratches, others looks like tiny particles (like the clearcoat was shot with a light blast of sand). Again, I've managed to correct a good portion of this, but I'm still not quite getting it all. I don't expect to get this thing absolutely flawless, but there's gotta be something I can do to take the progress I've made a little further.
I'll try attaching photos when the weather is better, but it's one of those situations where the conditions have to be just right to notice it (and, of course, I notice it more than others).
