Do I need a wool pad to remove cobweb?

Re: Do I need a wool pad to remove cobweb?

Here is a Tahoe I am working on. I got a couple of questions for you guys. For the most part, I am pleased with the results. However, I wonder if I am being too picky. From side shots, it looks pretty good. From direct light, not as good. I notice that when in direct light I make lite scratches just wiping of wax dust with my micro fiber. Also I can kind of see sanding grooves.

The cobweb along with some good scratches dissappeared which made me very happy. What do I do for fine marks? And how do you get rid of sanding marks that the buffer cant get to. By hand?

I have some pics but how do you post them. I clicked the insert image and it gives me url

You need to upload your images to our server first. Give this thread a read and it should clear things up for you

Does this look okay for the first step? M105 and Bergandy Pad. I need to purchase the 205 and the other pad you were speaking of.

That's obviously a huge improvement, but if you're using the burgundy pad with a D/A watch out for micro marring or hazing caused by the pad. If you're using a rotary buffer then a second pass is probably in order, but given the reduction in swirls from the first pass, the second one could go much quicker.

Keep in mind, too, that with swirls as severe as you have they often mask other issues commonly known as RIDS - random, isolated deeper scratches. It can look like new issues are just showing up when in fact they were there all along, you just couldn't see them due to the severity of the swirls.

I'm a little bit confused by what you said (but if you're using the burgundy pad with a D/A watch out for micro marring or hazing caused by the pad)

I get that from the rotary. I went over this area about 5 times with the burgundy pad on my rotary at no more than 1500rpms with m105.

This is where I get frustrated. Should I sand this now seeing that I can't get all the scratches out. I even progressed down to the swirl free polish and finishing pad to see if those were self inflicted wounds from the burgundy pad but to no avail. What should my surface look like after the burgundy pad? Is there any thread showing pics after each step?

Thanks for your help.
