I've got a black Mercedes that I spent three days on detailing it ... I used clay, M80, M7, and M26 ... I'm sure I did not miss what I seen this morning.
I can't tell if someone rubbed up against it, or if a cat scratch it, or exctly what happened. But there are scraches on the hood and trunk lid, and some others on the sides. I was able to remove the swirls and other scratches before, but not this time. I don't know what the deal is ... here is what I have:
G110A DA Polisher
8006 Polishing Pads
9006 Finishing Pads
M7 Show Car Glaze
M80 Speed Glaze
M26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax
ScratchX
I tried ScratchX by hand ... I tried 3 times with it on an 8006 pad. I tried 4 times with M80 on a 8006 pad ... just simply no luck at the scratch. I finally went to M7 on a 9006 and M26 on a 9006.
What could I be doing wrong? I start out around 3 on the dial, then speed up to about 4.5 to 5 until it is broken down, or near so - then microfiber wipe -- repeat -- over and over.
I try to put about 15lbs of pressure on the head, but the adapter plate has a white sticker on it, and I can tell that it seems like a clutch sometimes doesn't want to let it spin too well. If I just 'hold/control' the DA with one hand, very light pressure, it will spin but I feel like there is barely any pressure on the pain.
Maybe I am doing something wrong with the DA ... it just doesn't see to want to spin much - most times, my finder touching the side of the pad can stop it.
I know one of you pros could knock this out in no time ... I've seen this question before, but it gets hijacked or something - can someone order these are far as agressivenss for scratches/swirls:
ScratchX, M80, M82, M83
Should I be using a different pad? Is M80 stronger than ScratchX given the same pad type? Several questions about strengths, combinations, and DA performance.
Thanks for any advise!
