Please convince me that there's still hope

I was in the exact same position as you! A PC owner using a Makita for the first time a couple weeks ago on an Acura (with a bit of body work and I believe respray prior to my mom owning). I could barely dent it with a rotary + IP + yellow pads. Spent all day and gave up depressed--finally worked on finishing/lsp.



I think I had built up a rotary as being God in my mind, but a lot of skill is definitely required.



When I give it a second try in the near future, I'm stepping up to some m105 on a white pad and if that still doesn't dent it I'm taking Bee's advice and picking up some purple foamed wool.



Its funny... I feel like I accomplished more last year with my PC on that car.

Gopher, the M105 on a white LC pad will definitely give you a *huge* amount of correction, but as Accumulator said, it's much safer to try the PFW and the IP first. Then if you still need to use the 105, use the PFW. PFW is easier to use with 105, and it finishes down really well. You'd get somewhat of a better finish with the white foam, but the PFW is so much easier and safer to use I'd chose it over the foam.

Sigh... M95 sample, 3 pack PFW, and some misc. items on the way....



This hobby is getting expensive!
