Well, I didn't really mean for him to get a rotary. It is just what I have come across. I do think that Ford clear is soft enought to be picky, oddly I have not gotten as bad of a haze on our 2006 Honda CR-V. Maybe it was easier for me jump back into rotary polishing because of some previous experiance, and I find a PC very unenjoyable to use. That somtimes drives what I post.

I have done some thinking about the OP's haze issue( as with my own) in using his PC. If repolishing with SSR1 and the PC works then ignore my ramblings.
**start ramblings**
There must be a polish that will work well with PC on picky paint. I have tried OP/OC/OHC with the PC and got great results on some cars.
Megs #80/#82/#9 all seem fine, on all but the F-150 Lightning
only #9 with a finishing pad will not leave behind micomarring on the Lightning, it also has no real correction

I did try 3m UF by PC w/ blue pad, I have not had the Lightning in the sun yet but I didn't see any micromarring with the hologen so far. I also used the rotary on the top of the door to see how well that works.

Maybe the 1z polish or 106ff would work, I don't have any to try.
