Swirls....Megs #82 & White Pad....Didn't Work

Evening Everyone,

I have a 2003 Bonneville and it has swirls all over the place. Last weekend I spent a day doing a full detailing:

Washed
Clayed
Washed
Megs #82 & CMA White Pad
Klasse AIO x 1
Klasse SG x 1

Car looked great when I was done. Today I noticed that the swirls are back...I first thought they were new.....but I'm starting to think I didn't removed the swirls.

I though #82 would remove swirls rather than hide them with fillers.....was I wrong. Should I have started with DACP instead? Did I use the wrong pad?

I'm gonna try again in 2 weeks....any tips for better results?

Many Thanks,

George

try DACP with white pad if that doesn't work then DACP with yellow pad.

Least aggressive approach first.

With Aloha,

This is what I found too. It kinda sucks, but I found that it gets better after doing it a couple of times. It just takes a long time to get it going.

I think the #82 is full of fillers or oiuls and the AIO removed them.

I thought the same about the AIO removing fillers....but I was under the impression that Megs #83 and #82 doesn't contain fillers and oils.

Maybe I'm wrong.....I could have sworn the bottle said "body shop safe" which I assumed meant no oils.

Thanks All,,

#82 SFP is an extremely fine polish which will bring out a nice gloss, but its not really strong.....what he said....try dacp...

White pad is basically not going to correct any flaws. I use a yellow for minor stuff and the red for deeper marring and swirls. You also have to work the DACP till it is DRY. It took me a while to get this concept. Keep doing a little spot see what it looks like before moving on. Good luck.
