Hey everyone, after a freezing car wash I had some time to do polish/wax the car. My car is only 3+ months old I've notice quite a bit of light scratches all over. I decided to use SHR/Orange pad in a small area of my trunk. I was kinda freaked out that I made tons of swirl marks from it. Then I went to next step up and machine polish with the white pad. I got the swirl marks out but the light scratches are still there.
I checked to make sure the orange pad was clear of debris. Did I use not enough pressure? Or too much? I was at about 4-5k oscillation. Overall I decided not to use the SHR/Orange pad and just went with Machine polish /white pad. I will continue my work tonight with Super wax and gray pad. The car looks stunning but still have the light scratches all over (not swirl marks).
What am I doing or not doing? Junkman get up here already!
