Is this paint saveable ? 2000 Miata red hardtop . .

OH SNAP! It looks awesome. Amazing job. Always have loved SS paint, makes you feel like you are a miracle worker.

......I used 2 coats of #7 allowing it to soak in for about 20 minutes for each heavy coat. I then followed with a D.A polisher Ultimate Compound with red pad.

that's what I was thinking. Glad to see it worked out. now don't let it dry out again.

It is possible the red pad may leave some marring.

At this point, it may take a little playing to get the best finish. But you could look at UC with the yellow pad, or a miler product like Ult. Polish, #80, with the yellow pad.

A great transformation! After you've done the enitre car, why not post the before and after shots? The red or burgundy pad isn't recommended for DA Polishers, I'd stick with the yellow pads with UC and Ult. Polish, after that maybe use a finishing pad with Ult. Polish to really bring out the shine. M07? Could be used after, but with the polishing oils in ult. polish, it may be redundant. Seal it all with Gold Class Carnauba plus for looks, Ultimate Wax or NXT 2.0 for durability.
