Help me please guys, I did a repainted Mercedes today, my parents car, used m105 on purple foam wool and removed lots of stuff, but i have super lots of small scratches when i turn my Brinkman light on! lots of haze and just scratches you can see without trying to find them, i am sure and looks like its from the pfw i used, i had tried different combos but i could not get it out! i have yellow, orange,white, blue, green, black lc pads. also i use makita 977c or something like that. i even tried m205 on purple wool! lol I have 85rd, m205, m105.
 
Sounds like you have a case of micromarring on your hands.



Wool + Heavy Cut + Black = Instant 2 - 3 Step



Try hitting the paint with M105 on an orange or white pad again and then follow up with M205 on a green/black pad. The 85RD may or may not be optional, paint dependent.



Good luck.
 
The micromarring you are seeing is normal . . . . . especially when using not only a aggressive compound but a aggressive pad as well. You will see haze when using that combo but it isn't anything to freak out about.



After M105/PFW



I would personally go:



White/205

Blue/85Rd



when doing black cars you will normally almost always follow up with a polish like 85rd to make sure that traces of holograms are not left behind and to jewel the paint to a nice gloss.



Give that a try and post back with your results.

I agree, this would be my suggestion and I'd like to add...



With the rotary you have to really know how to work each polish with each pad specifically. Don't move over the surface too fast or too slow, work it in till it's broke down, then stop, don't over work it or you'll keep getting marring.



Don't go over speed 1500rpms, once broke down, turn the speed down to like 1000 and jewel it a little. Do this for each step and each polish/pad combo even the finish polish.



A little patience goes a long way when buffing and if you do it correctly it will take you 2 days so be prepared.



Most newer MB's have hard paint, but if this one has been repainted you can more then likely count on it being softer paint as well as most fresh paint is more delicate to begin with till it really cures and hardens to it's designed specs.
