Here is a quote from an article by David B on polishing and buffing. It accompanies a picture of David working on a dark Porche.
"....Here I'm using a wool leveling pad with my Porter Cable 7424 to level the paint on this Porsche 911._ Although the finish on this car was bright and glossy, it had a lot of water spot etching damage._ Using 3M Swirl Mark Remover with the wool pad, at a low speed setting cut down the damaged surface quickly and brought up a very nice shine...."
With PC and a wool pad and 3M Perfect-It II Polishing Compound, how much can paint be leveled on a urethane finish. What does it mean to level paint? Remove scratches, etc. or actually level the paint a little?
I'm still messing with a "tad bit" clearcoat orange peel that I'd like to level.
