    Re: First time Detailing...a little dissapointed

    Virtually every issue we've seen with Ultimate Compound has been in the application method. The use of terry cloth or sometimes even microfiber applicators, especially on soft paint, has a high probability of hazing the paint, but it's the applicator that's causing the haze.

    Our call center fields these "complaints" all the time. Probably the most common involves ScratchX and it always comes down to the use of a terry cloth applicator. When they have the customer go over the exact same area with the same product but a foam applicator, the haze is cleared up.

    This is also a big part of the reason we don't recommend using a cutting pad on the D/A - it tends to be too aggressive for that tool and has a high probability of hazing paint.

      I skipped some posts, so if I am retouching on a point, forgive me. I see you used SwirlX. If your technique was good or you develop it and SwirlX still isn't cutting it, it may also be that you need a bit of a stronger cleaner. For example, to really get all of the swirls and such out of the paint on my Mustang, I need M105.
