Need Help with Marring and light swirl marks Lexus ES300
Hi All,
Although my Lexus ES300 is a creamish, lighter color (two toned car) and a little tough to see the swirl marks from the previous owner I decided to just paint correct that one part of the trunk that has a really bad marring as if someone set a box on top of it and dragged it as they were trying to put something in their car. I first tried Meguair's Polishing 6.5 Pad with PC 7424XP and even the swirl marks weren't coming out when using M6 and then later on 205. I have the burgundy buffing pad and 105 but after hearing gunshots in the neighborhood from about 50-100 ft away and it was pretty late, I decided to clean up and didn't get to use the buffing pad. But before continuing again tomorrow morning I wanted to verify with other Lexus ES300 owners if the car has soft or hard paint, on some websites they claim the paint is hard and on another it says it is soft. I had a reading of 5.8 mm and was hoping to see if someone can verify if that's a good amount to be able to do paint correction on the clear (not sure if that's good for a trunk).
Sorry for the crappy masking
These were all shots beforehand, my phone died during machine polishing. Hopefully I can fix it tomorrow as I also need to study for midterms hehehehe.
