The last time I polished I finished things off with blue Sonus finishing pads on the Cyclo with 1Z High Gloss. Made an already great finish even better. So a finishing pad/finishing polish combo oughta work great for what you're encountering with the LC white pads leaving marring.

I can never finish out 100% hologram-free by rotary anyhow, so I always do my final work with the PC/Cyclos and it never causes any problems at all.

Thanks.

I really need to get my Lighting back out in the sun to see if my trails were fixed, yet. I was able to get OP on a white pad to fininsh perfect on most of the truck, but as goof on my part I tried to use OP and #82 with a LC blue on the rotary. I only did it on the door and the tailgate-the only reason I used it in the first place was to remove some DA marks from a LC black/#82. I just recently used 3m UF LC blue and the rotary on the door and tailgate. I also used the UF by PC and the blue on the bottom of the door. It looks great in a of the lighting I threw at it so far, but I havent had it in the sun yet. I hope for no da haze . Otherwise I will look into 4" pads. There are places I won't put a rotary, but a DA is Fine.

It is odd to me that I rarely get trails from a white pad by rotary, but I get a horrible finish with th PC using the same products

All I know is the my lightnig had finicky *soft* paint. My Ranger-not so much
