    Da 7204 and ultra cut compound

    Hi all

    yesterday i've worked a little on black paint 20 years old, i have the DA polisher

    last year i gave it one hand ultimate compound and one hand color x, unfortunately under sun and light there were a lot of swirls, marrs

    So yesterday

    First attempt with yellow pad and ultra finishing polish, not works yet as i want.. Speed 1-2

    second attempt with black pad and ultra cut compound not works yet speed 1-2

    at the end i've find out this combination that is well working IMO red pad and ultra cut compound low speed 1 most of the time, sometime if requires, for deep scars i've used speed 4 just a moment

    what do you think to use speed 1 with red pad on DA.?

    Re: Da 7204 and ultra cut compound

    Speed 1 is way too slow for doing any type of correction work.

    That's probably why you got no correction from your first two attempts.

    Ideally, you would use M105 and/or M205 at speed 4 - 5.5, on a yellow polishing pad.

    *EDIT* to avoid confusion:

    M105 = Ultra Cut Compound
    M205 = Ultra Finishing Polish

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.

        Yes, that's generally right, except his arm speed was too fast in that video. They tend to do that in demonstration videos.

        What I mean is you need to move your arm much slower along the paint to do any real correction. About 1 inch per second as a guide.

        Also, don't be afraid to bump the speed up above 4 if needed.

          This and the work area was large. It's typical to work smaller areas such as a 2foot by 2 foot or shoulder width apart.

            I was going to say that too, but forgot.

                That's not how you'd normally use M105. It may work depending on the paint, severity of defects and what you're trying to achieve.

                Only a test spot will tell you for sure. But I wouldn't hesitate to go straight to M105 on a yellow polishing pad.
