Apparently the compound pad can be fairly abrasive - I'll be using it with PO85RD3.01
So if I use this combination to cut back the swirls, and scratches first, and THEN follow up with the PO106FF on the finishing pad, does this sound good to you ?. |
Heh heh, not surprised that the correction of that Audi clear is proving to be a challenge
Though I haven't used either the pads or the abrasives in question, I agree with
Denzil that it sounds like a good plan.
klnyc- Yeah, it could be. Though IME when a MF isn't soft enough the marring it leaves isn't always so "micro"

I sorta spearheaded the use of "marring" as a catch-all/umbrella term for "gouges in the paint"...everything from scratches to the finest haze or hologram. Yeah, a lot of the stuff that thus falls under the heading "marring" can be independent of *other* forms of marring, but it *can* be caused by products/procedures. IMO almost *all* "micromarring" comes from working on it; anything from normal use/wear-and-tear/etc. is gonna be more noticeable than that.
Heh heh, I don't mean to beat anybody over the head with *my* definitions of this stuff (gee, who put me in charge of the English language
)...my intention is just to bring a bit of uniformity to how we refer to the kind of stuff that gets discussed over and over (and over). I've been using "marring" to describe surface defects on various things since I was a kid, and I learned that term from guys who were doing it since before cars were all that common (e.g., "there's some marring on that watch crystal, better polish it up some").
