Well this last month i bought a pc 7424, 3 white pads, 2 yellow pads, 3m smr, 3m ihg, klasse aio, p21s, magic clay bar, pak shack mf's, big blue drying towel, mf foam applicator pads. Well i start out on a car that has some swirls that im wanting to get rid of. I washed, clayed, washed then start with the pc, white pad, smr. I did the trunk first and it looked pretty good. Well i wiped with a mf and left a scratch. The mf has only been washed, never used or dropped on anything. So i go over that area again and get that scracth looking a little better. I went ahead and applyed IHG on one half of the trunk and AIO on the other half to see what the finished result might look like. Well i was happy enough with the trunk i moved to the roof. When i got done going over it i had more swirls than before, and it looked like it was coming from the pc. I got a new white pad, misted with eagle one wet, went over again with smr and nothing. The swirls where still there and the half circular marks also. So i tried yellow pad, nothing. I moved to the hood and it didn't remove any swrils. I did the sides and they looked alright. Im really confused on how the trunk looks good, but the rest of the car doesn't. Im now scared to use this on any other car around the house, cause im afraid to make the worse. Can anyone tell me what i did wrong??

Thanks for the help.
 
I'm sure you spent some time researching the PC before using it, but just a few questions. Did you work the product in long enough? It usually takes a while for SMR to break down. What speed did you use the PC at? I've had more success with running it at a higher speed like 5 or 6 than a slower speed. Did you work in small sections or did you do the whole panel? I separate my trunk into 3 sections when polishing. It's more effective to work on one small section than a whole section. Also, could it be that your scratches are too deep to be removed by SMR? You might have to use a more agressive product like Meguiar's DACP to remove some stubborn swirls.



I hope this helps you some.
 
I believe i worked the product long enough. The speed was at 3. I was doing sections, like the trunk i did half and later the other half.
