I just got a PC 7424 and i'm trying to bring back the paint on my 91 mustang. The car is maroon and it seems like no matter how much I clean and polish that I still get a ton of paint on my pads. Is this normal? Look at the steps I have taken below. After all this I still have scratches that I can't get out. The scratches aren't that deep - most of them my fingernail won't even catch on. I don't know if I expected too much from the PC or my technique is wrong. I also tried to get some pictures of the scratches I'm talking about but it was hard to get a good shot: view my pics here. I would appreciate any pointers you guys can give me. FYI - I used Megs softbuff pads. Thanks!
