hello from Charleston

Newbie here. My name is James and I live in the Charleston SC area. I have always been into cleaning my cars and helping others clean and wax theirs. Recently, I got the polish bug and decided I wanted to be able to correct paint defects for my cars and a few friends. I bought the UDM intro kit with PB SSR2.5, SSR1, EX-P, and Natty's Blue. (My explorer is black and my wifes 6 is dark gray) Anyway I read this site as much as I can and end up on here several times a day lately. After I get my 10 posts, I need to post some pics of my neighbors black Rodeo. It is heavily oxidized and I want to make sure I am doing the best job possible for them. I did a 50/50 on the hood with 2.5 and an orange low profile Wolfgang pad and then the CCS white pad and SSR1. It cleared up pretty well, a huge difference actually, but I am seeing lots of white specsand what looks like cuts in the clear. Should I stop there after seeing that or try to go deeper? I would like it to be as close to flawless as possible but I do not want to go to far causing the clear to fail. Hopefully I can get 10 posts in the next few days so I can post pics of what i am talking about. Anyway. glad to be here and looking forward to contributing to the community. Thanks, James

Re: hello from Charleston

I would probably quit at that if it is OEM finish, they only apply enough clear to get it to satisfy your regular buyer, not the enthusiast. If it were a new Vette, Benz or BMW, I would probably suggest trying a bit more. I am just gunshy with factory finishes and being a hobbyist painter, I have run into some ridiculously thin clear coat.
