    here`s my setup...i`m polishing a 95 red supra that has origional paint and the paint is in good condition given it`s age.i`m using a pc 7336sp with a meguiars w8006 polishing pad and klasse all in one.following the directions i got on here it came out pretty good but i still have the fine scratches or spiderwebbing may be a better term.do i need to use a more agressive polish or a different pad to rid the paint of these very fine scratches?thanks in advance for any thoughts.

    AIO isn`t going to remove swirls. It`s a chemical cleaner type product that leaves a very light acrylic sealant behind. To remove those scratches/spiderwebbing that your seeing, your going to have to switch to an abrasive polish. The more common combinations of polishes used here could be #83/#80 by meguiar`s, optimum compound/optimum polish, IP/FPII by Menzerna, the SSR line by poorboy`s, etc etc. All of thse will fix your problem given enough time.

    Pics would help better define what you are dealing with.

    IIRC the pad your using has a fair amount of `cut` to it, I would start off with a normal polishing pad with a mild polish

    The W8006 is a normal polishing pad. It`s the W7006 that is the cutting pad.



    I agree with Neothin that a stronger polish is needed.
    A well-prepared surface will make any wax look good.
