Ok so I just received my order of sonus pads and I was totally stoked. I washed the car, dried it and started to apply 3M finesse IT swirl remover for darker cars onto it via a pc 7336 with orange cutting pad. Now I set the pc to 4 and started buffing the hood, polished it off with the polishing bonnet from sonus then touched up the hood with a towel. It turned out semi-decent. Then later that night I noticed under some fluorescent lighting that I had swirled up my whole hood. Not minor swirls like I had before but extremely bad swirls. Now this is all on a black car but what I`m wondering is what did I do wrong? Previously when I used the pad that had originally came with the pc this never had happened. Oh and I forgot to mention that I applied this 3M compound on top of some water spots. So in essence I have a few questions.
1. What could have caused this?
2. What is an ideal speed to set the buffer to when using a compound, polish, etc?
3. Is the orange pad too aggressive for my purpose?
4. Is using a slower speed on the buffer better for taking out swirls?
Thanks in advance.
