The Rotary Learning Curve

..[problems finishing with OP are from]..Too much product.

That's what I figured, but I sure wasn't using much! Just *so* different from the PI-III stuff...



Next time I'm gonna try just a pea-size amount and see how that works out.



But I gotta say that at some point I'll just get out the Cyclos...I could tinker with the M3 for another year at the rate I'm going and I need to get it done.

Did you think about getting the grit discs for the cyclo? A good 4000 grit sanding or two would probably do it.

Nah, I never seriously considered it. If I were gonna wetsand something (it'd be the new Audi project, *if* I keep it) I'd feel more comfortable trying the Mirka system. Much as I love the Cyclos, and much as I consider 4K mighty safe, I just don't like the idea of Cyclo-sanding.
 
Bence- A while back you offered to advise me regarding better finishing with the OP; rather than do it via e-mail/etc., how about posting any tips here so others might benefit from them too.



Using a proper/minimal amount of OP and working it long enough seem like the obvious solutions, but I'd sure appreciate any additional info/elaboration you could offer.



FWIW, I've watched Anthony O.'s videos at the Optimum site, but I'm not sure if his work on the Porsche front bumper cover translates all that well for me with regard to doing larger areas :think: Also, he followed up with (IIRC) Opti-seal and the PC, and I wondered if that would've been the equivalent of my final polishing via Cyclo.
