I am trying to do some paint correction on an older fox body Mustang with a 2 yr old repaint on it. Paint overall in really good shape just your basic swirling and the odd mild scratching from daily use and car washing. Dark blue in colour. Anyways didn't think it needed too much in the way off an aggressive approach so I went with 8 inch yellow Megs pad and the new 105. Work light wasn't with me but it looked shiny even before I used any finishing polish. I guess that should have tipped my off because following a finish polish and some sealant a trip outdoors revealed that most of the original defects were still present. I usually lay a good size stripe along the finish and polish around 1000 to 1200 rpm. I don't count passes but usually work until the product more or less becomes opaque. I don't use alot of downward pressure on the pad and I keep the pad moving fairly briskly. Not so fast that it nots creating frictioin becuase the paint is fairly warm when I am done, but don't want to burn through. I want a slightly hazy finish after this product is working correctly, right? I can live with having to clean it up with another product but I want the blemishes removed. Any good videos showing buffer speed of movement and amount of product for basic 2 X 2 area?
