Will AIO remove all scratches?



I'm using a PC on #4 with Meg's polishing pad to apply.(after clay bar bath)



Once I applied my LSP by hand the scratches were gone..... My question is if it claims to be a AIO, what am I doing to cause these fine scratches to the paint?



Double bucket theroy in being applied during wash. MF wipe down, Meg's finishing pad with PC on #5 to remove AIO. LSP applied by hand and removed with clean MF. Clay bath is being lubed by clean Autosmart car wash and is wet at all times. QD is Meg's Final Inspection? :think:



Is the Clay Bar the cause?
 
Thanks Patrick. I'm using the Sonus clay bar. Should I do away with the soap and water and lube?



If so what lube should I go with?

It's possible that your clay may either be too agressive or you may have contaminants in it. (Like dust or other small particulates). You may try a gentler clay.



So far as lubes go, clay lubes that is..... :lol take your pick. I have tried Megs, Mark-V,Sonus,FK and they all seem to work fine.
 
Solo, I often use water when claying, so i doubt its the actual lube. Make sure you kneed and turn frequently, dont use uneccessary pressure, avoid circular motion, and avoid long passes, keep your passes relatively short, like 12-18 inches. This will avoid rapid accumualtion of debris which will cause additional marring.

Clay does contain abrasives, so to say you can totally avoid surface marring, may be a little exaggerated.

I usually dont worry about marring as Im polishing (with a true abrasive polish) afterwards anyway.
