Well finally just said screw it and got down with it last night. I was inspecting my paint with the flashlight and noticed a lot of almost grey like streaks/swirls to where they were right on top of each other. So it was like one big uniform swirl, but you couldnt really see it.
I tried #7 by hand, nothing. I then tried S100 Paint Cleanser by hand. Used the flashlight to check it out and really nothing.
So this is when I setup the PC. Got myself the DAS Blue Pad (finest). Took the s100 paint cleanser and started on the fender I was working on.
Within a few minutes of buffing with the pc. I buffed off the polish (which btw was the easiest polish to remove , pc + s100Cleaner combo). Checked my results....and TADA exactly what I was going for. Nice clear and dark.
I then continued on my CF hood which is the oddest thing in the world. It has tons of little pin like holes in the paint as well as other tiny tiny scratches.
Went off on it and bam, just enhanced it nicely. Seemed more flat , uniform and less swirls. Continued on my terrible front bumper. Really brought up the depth, clarity and shine. I was stoked.
Then the side of the front bumper was kinda nasty. Again gave it some rounds and bam, much better.
I cant wait to do the whole car. Definently a great tool, I feel has probably now taken over all my paint needs. I thought by hand was working good, but its nothing compared to this.
As well I was much much much less tired. I did the whole front and was barely even tired. I did it in far less time and the results were much greater. This thing is a major plus in almost everyway.
Ill have photos soon.
