ZPC+orange LC pad+PC leaving micromarring...normal?? need help!!

[dinesh7]

Good day all,



I was working on my friends jet black audi A4. ZPC plus the orange LC pad removed 95percent of the swirls, but I noticed something strange in the sun...from some angles, the car was perfectly black, however, if you looked about an angle or two off from directly where the sun was hitting, i could see tons of micromarring...and even some buffer swirls...



It also seemed that the paint was abit greyish in contrast to the areas I tapped off....



Is this normal since by right I am suppose to finish up with a final polish+white pad to get rid of micromarring? Or am I using too much pressure/not working product in long enough??



any input would be great!

step down to a white pad, and use very little zpc or it will leave micromarring.

^ Yeah I would try a white pad a little product as well.

the orange is a cutting pad. always finish with the white or german green pad or another brand of polishing pad. Use about 6 dots of ZPC on the pad and work till it clears and pretty much disapears.

I do not like using an orange pad with a ROB because it will leave micro marring that is VERY hard to remove without a rotary.

thanks for the input, will work on the amount of polish+ aggressiveness.
