Same process but different results?

[93LSCOUPE]

Ok. Let`s give it another whirl. I used my PC to try to remove the many scratches and scrapes on my paint. The driver`s side came out ok, but the other side is still noticeably duller and just not as "clear."

The passenger side doesn`t have that "wet" deep look.



Here was my process:



-Meguiars car wash

-Mother`s clay

-DACP w/yellow pad worked until gone/powdery

-Menzerna IP white pad

-Menzerna FP black pad

-Mother`s Sealer & Glaze



Any ideas? Do I need to use something stronger to get the paint "clearer?" What should I use?



I just noticed, it`s really hard to tell from the pictures, but the driver`s side is A LOT wetter and "clearer" than the passenger side.

Sounds as if you still have some DACP or IP haze that was not fully worked out with the FP. You may have to run the FP with a polish pad first to remove all the haze and to get the finish back to a clearer look. Then, switch to the black finish pad and burnish the finish. It will be nice and glossy then! Seen it before and it`s happened to me. One side was exposed to more sun/rain abuse than other, so it took more work to remove defects, but left a haze which is usual for "leveling". After working more polishes later, it was nice and clear. Other side didn`t need heavy work, just some SFP and FP.



Good luck!

Same thing happened to me on my black B5.5 .. prolly not noticable on a lighter colored car. What Deanski said is most likely it.. DACP haze.. What I did was go over the haze with DACP on a white pad then go to IP/FP ( IP only if needed )

Agree with Deanski. A little more work should get you the desired results.
