VW Golf 1.6, belongs to my aunt.

Car was swirled, scratched and rough



Treated as usual :



  • Optimum 50/50 on orange pad with rotary at 1600
  • Optimum 50/50 on bleu pad with PC at 5
  • SSR 2 and 1 on polishing pads with PC
  • P21S wax, 303 on plastics



Strange things :



-SSR 1 with a black polishing pad on my PC DUSTED LIKE HELL !!!!, don't knwo what I did wrong.

-I also tried one more time DACP, and again dust-storm everywhere



Before : (watch the scotchbrite mark in the second pic...LOL)

No more pics as it was raining in between.

I also was unable to remove all swirls, strange because I tought a rotary and OC with an orange cutting pad should be strong enough...
 
I agree, VM is though paint. Same problem with Optimum Compound and a polishing pad with the PC. Got about 90% of them out, probably take a rotary to (maybe!) get them out close to 100%. Sad thing was, she never noticed them before and really didn't care if I removed them or not as long as her paint shined and beaded when it rained!



You made an incredible improvement though and you certainly can't expect every car to be able to end up competely defect free. The only ones who'd notice those very faint halo swirls are us anyway. ;)
 
Any tips for that dusting SSR1 ? On the botlle they claim "even use in the sun", and our is is not that hot...
