cptzippy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well, had a bit of time and energy (rare to have both at the same time these days) and decided to go at the trunk lid of the Lexus. Got my PC, a 5.5 inch LC Tang, and OPT Hyperpolish and went to work. Clayed with ONR and Pinnacle Poly first. Was thinking of doing Opticoat but... Looked good at first look but when the sun popped fully out from behind the clouds I could see the dread spiderwebs. They weren't bad, but they were there so I didn't want to lock them in. Don't want to be too aggressive but I'm thinking about going to my cyan pad. So, what information do I need to give you to help me not muck this up too badly. Also, was suprised by the Hyperpolish. Was expecting something more liquid than the hand cream consistency steam that sprayed out across the length of my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfections Detail Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Use the same pad just a few more passes is what I would do till the defects are gone, sometimes even with compounds you have to make several passes to remove all the defects, also can try bumping the speed to 6 then make a couple passes on 4 with light pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfections Detail Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Lol true chris didnt think about maybe they weren't there to begin with just assumed he was trying to remove defects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Blake Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 It's a bit of a tough call to blame a polish for not removing swirls when there is a perfectly good compound to use from the range... The issue here is lack of cut from the Porter Cable machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptzippy Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wasn't blaming the product, read the title. Will try the tips. The defects were there, this is the first chance I've had to go after the dealer installed swirl option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptzippy Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Got in a hurry and didn't do a test spot (was excited to get it done). Realized I have a halogen worklight that will help see the swirls. Bright sun today so I tried to take some pics of the swirling but they didn't come out.
