      Just so you know, the discussion we were having with margallar about single stage paint has been moved to its own discussion since it really doesn't fit in here and may well be of interest to others looking to work with single stage paint. We've moved it over here.

        Nice post on the subject of different types of paint I should say

        I myself have come cross many paint jobs that have similar traits when it comes to finishing off with a shine only to find that the end result just seems to mar paintwork. In particular Subaru, Liberty's more so and damned Hondas.

        In particular black Hondas. I recently did a black Honda and although I was using a soft polishing pad with a finishing polish, the end result was looking like I finished off with a cutting compound even though I was using the flex with a polishing pad and finishing polish. One combination that works on one paint, won't necessarily work on the next. I have learned this many times and you also need to have an arsenal of finishing polishes because you are right when you say that in most cases it is the pad that does the damage but sometimes it can also be the choice of polish.

        I found that I had to move to the softest possible finishing pad, take the weight off the buff and slow down the OPMS on the machine and should I mention, that I had to put aside the Flex which has a forced rotational cut and a throw of 8mm and move to a 5mm throw which has no cutting ability. This was how I finished with what we know as sticky paint on this Honda. The end result was nothing but black glass.
