I was detailing a car using #80 with a w8006 pad on a DA on #5. It took out a lot of swirls but not all of them when the car was put back into the sun. It is white in color and hard to see the swirls but from the right angle with the correct light conditions there are still some there. What do you do then-reach for #83, apply another application of #80, move up to a rotary? What do you pros do to help make this determination? I know experience must have a lot to do with it. Thanks-still learning.

Is this single stage white paint?Originally posted by 74 thing

If so, it's probably the hardest paint on the market as the pigment used to make paint white is titanium dioxide powder.
Try switching over to M83 using a W-8006 foam polishing pad on the dual action polisher on the 5.0 setting.
Also, read this thread all the way through, it will help you to understand what's possible and what's not...
Also read this, as the above recommendations come from this thread...
Also, just to point out, in numerous posts you've made, I've cautioned you about working on the Thing body style as it has a lot of body lines, (high points), where the risk of burning through the paint is greater than on flat areas.

Mike thanks for the links. The white car I was working on was a Ford truck just like in the links you provided. I need to get a pic of my Thing and post it here for you to see. Thanks again.Comment
