    UP or UC?

    If it was UP then that explains a lot. The speed was too low too, although the pressure you used sounds about right.

    To do any serious defect removal, you want UC on speed 5 and medium downward pressure with a very slow arm speed.

    As a guide, push down hard on the machine until the pad stops rotating, then back off a little so it starts rotating slowly. That's about where you want to be for defect removal. And move your arm s l o w l y across the paint.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

        Try UP on speed 5. That should correct any defects imparted by UC.

          Thanks for all the advise. I guess I did a good job. I entered by first concours d elegance and won 1st place. How do I get the chrome exhaust tips clean on the inside.

              I tried out Meguiar's DUB metal polish. You can give it a try on the exhaust tips. It's available at most auto parts stores. Here's my review.
