Ok.. recently had some body work done. Two of the panels the guy painted are really hazy. I think polishing may cure them.. if not I'll have him reclear those two panels. The DUMB thing is... the rest of my car looks WORSE than when I gave him my car. There used to be MINOR swirls everyway... now there are MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR swirls EVERYWHERE. Needless to say I'll never pay the same guy for any work again.

Anyway it's black trans am, though I may use the supplies to work on some other cars too. I was planning on getting a PC 7424, but I wanted some advice as far as what pads and products would work well for a beginner. I saw one guy on here that used like... Poorboy SSR 2.5, then some Menzerna product, then Klasse AIO... but you all have such varied product usage and I am just not familiar with these products... best it's been for me in the past is Zaino Z2 and Z5, but now I HAVE TO GET RID OF THESE SWIRLS!!!

Finally... is there a way to tell by looking if the hazed panels are just polished with too rough a grit and can be fixed or whether it is a clear coat flaw?

Thanks a ton!
