I'm using a PC, orange pad, Hi Temp 357.

1st- I've ripped the white velcro backing away from my Sonus Orange Pad...well, halfway. Is there a usual cause for this? Just want to make sure I don't make the mistake again in the future. Don't know if it was too much pressure, or my technique of washing the pad, etc.

2nd- I've been using Hi-Temp 357 Magnum (w/ said orange pad---6") to do my wife's Black 02 Altima. I've made 2-3 passes in all areas. All the spiderwebbing has come out flawlessly, but some of the larger clearcoat scratches (nothing too crazy) and the water marks will not come out. I figured I would at least be able to get rid of the water etching.
Do you think these could have been left alone so long they've etched all the way through, or is there a more extreme approach i should take (product-wise) to get better results?

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures, the car does look better, but I honestly expected nearly flawless results...and I was pretty certain the Hi Temp would be strong enough. Any suggestions would be GREAT.

Thanks!!
