What type of car? What type of pads?

I have seen 80 leave light hazing on VERY soft paints, but most of the time this is not a problem. If the 80 is leaving the hazing, then 82 or 9 with either a 9006 or a 8006 pad should remove it. If not, then you might want to try something like 66 that will fill in some of the hazing and finishes soft.

You stated that this is your first time with a PC, and I'm going to jump out on a limb and say that the problem is user error. Cover the basics for the 80 seriers....

Slow arm speed (one to two inches a second, tops)

Overlapping passes that change directions (vertical, horizontal, diagonal)

Spread on spead 3 and switch to speed 5 to work.

Make sure your working the product long enough (this might be the problem). Using slow arm speed and working the over lapping sections in the three directions I mentioned, you should be able to work 83 for atleast 2 minutes, and 80 for about 2 1/2 minutes for a 18" by 18" section. Your likely going WAY to fast and not working long enough.

Use the right pads

Properly load the product onto the pad. I recommend a single bead from 1 end to the other end, pretty thin.
