Which Pad, Polish for Defect?

[Idrops]

Which PC pad combined with which polish would you start out with for the following defects?



Minor Swirls

Major Swirls

Water Spots

Fine Scratches

Moderate Scratches

Deep Scratches



I know you might have to go out on a limb here, but just give me your best opinion based on the above info.



Assume PC, CMA pads, and 3M polishes or PPCL, AIO.



I`m trying to get an idea of how to attack my three cars with a PC for the first time.



Thanks

Always start less aggressive like SMR and a white pad then try yellow pad with FI-II any thing more that that and you may need a rotary....

Minor Swirls: white pad, meguiars` SMR 2.0 or Glaze, then wax

Major Swirls : yellow pad, FI-II, followed by meguiars` SMR 2.0, then wax

Water Spots: either of the above depending on severity

Fine Scratches; to me a fine scratches are the same as swirls

Moderate Scratches: meguiar`s scratch-x, by hand, foam pad. If LOTS, 3M rubbing compound, yellow pad - but my car will never be this way.

Deep Scratches: forget about it.
