Hi. Im new here and Im fairly new to car detailing and have just purchased a G220 Dual Action polisher.
Im having problems removing even small lines and swirls from the paint of my BMW E90. The colour is white. It seems this paint is very hard and coated with diamond!
I started with Scratch X then Ultimate compound now M105 and each step has been a slight impovement. I have managed to remove some swirls but Im using ALOT of pressure and its taking a VERY VERY long time. Like 20 passes or more in one small area and its still not removed enough.
Ive cheched over all the tutorials and Im confident Im using the machine properly. Set at speed 4 or 5 the pad is always turning and Im holding it flat against the surface and moving along very slowly doing a small section at a time. Also, Ive tried the polisher breifly on a Lexus and Toyota with Ultimate compound and the defects came off with 1 or 2 passes with ease.
The pad Im using is yellow W8207. What else can I try as this is taking forever. What about the W7207 cutting pad. I know its not recommended in most cases because it can cause hazing but maybe in this case it will work well?
