Micro marring on black paint. Please help.

[scrub]

For the first time I had a problem with micro marring left behind by a polish pad and #80. I tried almost every product and pad combo I had to fix. The cob webbing was removed but the clear scratch/mar free surface wasn't evident when I inspected with a xenon light or the sun. There appeared to be a haze or fine circular scratches around the light source. The scratches looked like micro fiber lint. The marring was only in the areas I polished which was a few test spots.

Combos I tried:
#80 and polish pad
#80 and finish pad over same area
#2 and polish pad then #80 finish pad
#82 and polish pad
SSR 2.5 and polish pad then SSR 1 and finish pad

I varied how long I worked in the #80 and other products too. I tried new pads.

Luckily this happened on my truck and not a client's. I can't figure out what happened. Last year when I bought the truck I used #80 and NXT with no problems.

I'm lost on this one. Any help would be great. Sorry for no pics.

What did the finish look like before you started, before you ever polished and waxed?

The truck was bought brand new in August of 04. The surface had the normal dealer installed cob webs. When I bought the truck I used #80 and topped with NXT and the paint was very clear minus the installed webs. The areas I didn't polish still remain crystal clear but with the wash marks I've instilled while washing the past year.

I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. Upclose pics are hard to capture properly. Hang tight one minute.

Is this the info you're looking for?

Thanks Mike

I couldn't get a very good image with the xenon light. I'll have to wait until I can get a sun shot.

This just doesn't sound normal is all. Perhaps you could try using either some M82 or some M09 on a Finishing pad over the area on the 4.0 to 4.5 setting, light pressure and then inspect?

I did use #82 but my bottle of product was super watery. I don't recall that kind of consistency when I last used the product. Maybe the bottle is a little old. I will order a new bottle and try #82 again. Thanks for the help so far.
