Not a 110% satisfied Or am I...

Today I attempted to correct my paint from swirls and scratches with the PC and SHR with the orange pad at 5 OPMS with 9-10 lbs of press or enough to bog down the PC. Most of the swirls came out except the deeper scratches. I ran my finger nail across the deeper scratches and my finger nail didn't stop or get caught in the scratch. I did 2 passes with the PC. Do you guys think that I should use the more invasive method ie yellow pad. I followed the same techniques as JUNKMAN did in his videos. Before I return my products, should i purchase a yellow pad or is there something i can do with the orange pad that can make it more effective.

Thanks, David.

How do you just have s orange pad? My pc kit came with all 4.

That's right Jesse... you were there!

 

I wish I could have seen that turnaround, but I would have cried when I saw the paint on that stang before.

"You having a new non oem clear may also mean it's MUCH harder than OEM cheap clears."

 

 

 

Yeah i don't know how hard BASF DIAMONT clear coat is, i know it wasn't cheap. I will try to tackle this again, with more patience and passes. Also, is it true that clay removes wax?

 

The name of that clear leads me to believe it is pretty hard. Also yes clay will remove wax.

Also, is it true that clay removes wax?

 

Yes, clay is one of several ways to remove wax.

Just take your time and do a few more passes with the Orange pad, you'll be fine :thumbsup:

 

Agreed! TIME TIME TIME! I plan on putting my G8 on jack stands in another month a driving my truck for a few days so that I can spend some quality time on it.

 

You having a new non oem clear may also mean it's MUCH harder than OEM cheap clears. You may REALLY have to work at it long and hard.

 

Adams products WILL work... Using a PC just takes time and patience.

Dang everybody is so helpful! Like junkman said years of damage is not going to be corrected instantly, true. But i just painted my car in November. So i figured its not going to take a lot of passes to remove swirls and deeper scratches. I want to re-work it and take a little more time in a 2x2 section. Wish i could find my camera's charger so i can take pictures, its actually a big difference! If im not satisfied, I'm calling Ashley for a yellow pad! Thanks everybody for the help, and Junkman for the needed insight.

looks like the junkman has love for the Fords:lol::lol::lol:

 

I do, especially the Shelby.

From my moms truck

 

 

 

So after clay and my first pass with SHR and the orange pad it looked like this.

 

 

WAY better but I wasn't happy with it yet so I make another pass around the whole car and really slow down my movement of the polisher and put down a nice coat of Americana... Americana is the most BA wax Ive ever seen by the way and the paint now looks like this

 

 

and I know I didn't get a before pic of the whole truck but here she is after 5 hours of hard work.

I can say if it is not working it is not the product.

This is the best I have used, and with good technique, it works very well. If you are unhappy, maybe the paint was trashed farther than polish will do. That is not the products fault.

Lookin good Aj the car was bad on pictures and worse in person;)

 

That's right Jesse... you were there!

I spent 10 hrs on my moms truck 6 of which were probably polishing with the orange pad.
