Yeah, you really oughta get your lighting sorted out.



Just my unsolicited $0.02, but that sounds like a lot of polishing steps to remove 2500 scratches.

yup I agree , I guess it shows my lack of experience with a rotary :nixweiss



I thinks what is happening is :

It is not easy to remove the sanding marks because the clear is quite hard :hairpull



I tried this steps on the original paint of a Jeep Cherokee and got it corrected fairly easy :bounce



While with the new paint I have to keep trying to compound until the sanding marks start to disappear :help:



I tried first just with the cutting pad and it took forever, once I got a wool pad results are quicker , but then , I end up with buffer marks, which I can correct with the cutting pad, and then improve with the other steps
 
amgtorre- I think I'd try M105, and/or a LC Purple Foamed Wool pad. What you're going through reminds me of how I was struggling on my M3 before I tried the M105.
 
Acc, Thanks for the suggestions!

M105 is going to cost me like 60 dlls for 1 liter :scared: so right now I'll keep trying with M95



I went over the part of the hood that was left to be corrected

I did:

wool+m95

wash

yellow pad + m83

wash

beige pad + m82

wash



lots of work but it does look much better



also I got my self an incandescent lamp, here checking the doors ...
