    Do you have the DVD or have you seen it? It explains how to use the D/A polisher very well.

      The DVD is great and if you don't have it, you should get a copy. In the meantime, try this thread...

        In addition to the info posted above....

        If you haven't already you might search MOL for 'carbon fiber' there are a few other that have posted some results and such. Just a thought.

            Use just the #83 until you are satisfied with the results. You may or may not even need to follow up with the #80.
            If the #83 didn't get the job done, then your use of #80 was a wasted effort. It didn't hurt anything, but didn't do much toward correcting your problems. If you decide to use something more aggressive, be sure it can be used with the DA. Some products don't work well with a DA. A Meguiar's product will have that information on the bottle.
            FWIW, flaws that take 30 minutes to remove with a DA would probably be removed in 5 minutes with a rotary in the hands of someone that is good with it. You might want to consider having a pro take shot at it and you take care of the rest of the vehicle.
