Need some help on final finishing

[outrag1]

Hi,

I have a black 2007 Tahoe that had your standard horizontal scratch marks from dealer prep, car washing, etc...

So I've got a Cyclo and I'm trying to get a test spot perfect before using that procedure on the whole truck. There are a couple before pics and after pics. The paint was extremely glossy and mirror like afterwards, but there is definitely some micro marring (or buffer induced mini scratches) that can be seen under a focused light.

The after shots from the camera make it look pretty minor... and maybe it is as I'm not sure how perfect you can expect to get the finish.

Anyway, I used orange pads (LC) cyclo with OP for two separate rounds and then the green pad (cyclo) with OP for one round (this last round didn't do much improvement).

Any further assistance would be appreciated. I know I can fill everything at this point and move on to waxing...but I'd rather figure out how to get it correct prior to doing that.

Thanks

Scottwax use's one too, he's the pro to ask.

Well, this may sound obvious...but if you've got some micro-marring on black, why don't you try the white cyclo pads with the OP and see if that will perfect it? Just make sure you work it enough to bring up the finish.
