I tried working on my dads white Chev Mailbu with M84 on a wool pad. It didn't seem to have any effect on the scratches, even after repeated passes. I know white paint can be a big hassle to work on, so what is my next step? Should I try M105 next?

Re: M84 + Wool on rotary = Not enough
Yes, M105 and a wool pad would be next in line.
Which wool pad are you using? Some are less aggressive than others.Chris

I'm using the heavier cut one that came with my Makita.Originally posted by PorscheGuy997 View PostComment

Re: M84 + Wool on rotary = Not enough
I would go with #85 and see if you have any sucess there and then if not then you can step up to #105 but if you dont already have both and just want to buy one then i guess #105 would be the best option just to be sure. Also make sure the scratches you are trying to remove are not to deep because if they are you might just end up eating right throw the clear coat trying to remove them""Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing - the result." - Vince Lombardi

Re: M84 + Wool on rotary = Not enough
Are you trying to remove swirls or isolated scratches?
You can try M105 with the wool pad, the results are great and the finish that M105 leaves behind is amazing.Comment

Re: M84 + Wool on rotary = Not enough
Both, the swirls I can take out (with a lot of effort) the scratches are proving to be way more difficult. I can't feel the scratch but I can sure see it. I'll have to investigate some M105 I think.Originally posted by yalerd View PostComment

Re: M84 + Wool on rotary = Not enough
Has the car been repainted? I ask because I've seen at least 2 vehicles lately that have had a clearcoat sprayed over swirls & scratches. The clear may be fine while the imperfections are under the clearcoat. Just a thought.Jesse

Re: M84 + Wool on rotary = Not enough
I just detailed my 2002 Malibu this past weekend. That paint is hard! I barely made any progress with #83 and my DA. I abandoned ship (for now) and just put on a nice coat of #6 topped with a round of #26 until I get some rotary skills.Comment

Re: M84 + Wool on rotary = Not enough
I never tried the pads the came with the Makita.
Almost every time, M84 and a wool pad will yield results. It seems to me that the pad is causing a problem. Try one of the So1o pads.
Also, what speed are you working at?Chris

The pad worked fine on my dark blue truck, just not the white paint. Using it at 1,500 rpms.Originally posted by PorscheGuy997 View PostComment

I recall Mike Phillips said that solid white is one of the hardest paints about due to its physical make up (Contains - Titanium Dioxide)Comment

True, I'm going to see if I can find some M105 locally today.Originally posted by christian6984 View PostComment
