What kind of polishes you guys use after dacp on dark colored cars? DACP left some micro marring on my paint that is visible under sunlight. I tried to follow up with the SFP with the w8000 pad with no luck. It was such a pain to remove because it dries very quickly. I also tried to follow up with the s100 SEPC and actually lessen the appearance of the micro marrings. I don't know if it actually removed them or just covered them up. How much pressure do you guys put when using a fine polish like SFP or 3m SMR? How does the meguiars #9 compare to these two? is S100 SEPC on the same league as a swirl remover or is it a finer polish?
 
How did you apply DACP? You should have work it till it was gone, then you wouldn't have that marring. What you can do know is using it again but with a W8000 pad, and work it well, then you can use SFP.
 
On my dark colored vehicles ( black) I always follow DACP with a finer polish and/or cleanser. My favorite combo is the Menzerna twins (IP & FP) after DACP. If I am really anal I will follow the combo with VM or P21S GEPC prior to topping with a protectant.

The DACP and IP are applied with a LC yellow cutting pad and the FP, VM and P21S, applied with a white LC pad.

As jgv mentioned, you may want to work the DACP a little more and maybe increase PC speed (5-5.5) when DACP is almost completely broken down. This should minimize some of the post-polishing hazing you are getting.

Hope this helps.
