Meguiar's scratchx by hand

I'm really curious about this and it has more to do with paint than the product itself.



Ok, so I polished my car with this and noted when I got to a lower panel that the pad turned red(my car color, obvious). But on upper panels I got no red residue. I'm assuming this car was repainted, since I've noted spots of overspray.



My guess is the lower panels weren't clearcoated. Because, when you use a polish on a clearcoat you'll never see any residue on the pad because it is clear, right?







On non-clearcoats, you'll see plenty of paint on the pad. I realized this while trying polish on a toolbox. So, lets take a factory paint job. If you ever notice some paint on your applicator does that mean the clearcoat is gone. Since a clearcoat is between you and the colorcoat. Am I right on all of this?



thank
 
I am not a big fan of Scratch X at all. I really like Megs Clearcoat Body Scrub though (if you can find it!)

That doesnt meant the CC is gone, it just means you have single stage paint.





Thanks guys, so base and clear are mixed together then sprayed as one.
