Greetings - Quick question on PC usage

[machboy]

Long time reader first time poster.



I recently purchased a PC from lowes the 7336 i believe. Anyways after ordering the Sonus pads and watchin the how-to video i attacked my car. (2003 Torch Red Mach 1)



It has a some moderate swirls and marring and a few long scratches. I decided to do the hood first. I started with #80 on green pad. Did nothing then to #80 on orange pad nothing. Then i decided to use a bottle of Mothers Power Polish i had on another orange pad. Again...nothing. What in god's name am i doing wrong? I followed the instructions dead on. I assume maybe i'm not using the right polish. I might need something with more bite. But this is just for swirls and according to posts on here what i have should work just fine.



Any advice??





thank you

#80 has more fillers then cleaners try something more aggressive like #83 DACP or PBSSR2.5

You suggest using the orange pad?

The good thing about the orange pad is that it is abrasive but doesn't leave the hazing or possible marring from the standard yellow pads.

I would start with a less agressive pad then that, but if that one section you did doesn't come out how you want I'd move to a more aggressive pad. Start with the least aggresive pad method.
