I own a 1991 celica and I bought some M105 compound just got it in today so i wash the car up with some dawn soap then clayed and used the compound with a griots DA 6" with their orange pad and the M105 didnt do a single thing to the car. Any ideas?
 
What speed did you hit it with, how long were you working the compound for, and is this your first time around the park?
 
speed was at a 5 and I worked in a little section with about 4 passes and yes first time with a compound
 
IMO the Griot's pad is a bit gentle for serious correction with M105, better as a second step with it in cases where you get awful micromarring from a more aggresssive first step.
 
As above, try a more abrasive pad (See also "Pad Priming", Kevin Brown article)
 
That seems odd but make sure you're going nice and slow with some pressure and try a LC orange or yellow pad or even the surbuf pads with the m105. Has that panel maybe been repainted?
 
LC orange pad on speed 6. The Griots is a monster at that speed. WAY better than my old PC.



There are a few very well respected detailers on here that I have seen only use speed 6 for defect correction. Made a huge difference for me when I started going that route.
 
How much M105 did you use? Maybe look into a more aggressive pad as well. I like the detailers domain uber pads, the yellow one would be a good choice.
