My car has hard paint, and I want to polish it using a dual action machine polisher to remove obvious sub-surface defects. What products and pads are best suited to this task?
To correct swirl marks and other light to moderate defects (fine scratches and etching) on your car, we recommend a single stage process using Extreme Cut or One Step Machine Gloss in conjunction with Gloss-it White Fast Cut Foam pad or Yellow Light Cutting Foam pad. (5.75 pads on a 5 Evo inch flexible backing plate for larger flatter areas, and 3.75 inch spot pads on a 3 Evo inch flexible backing plate for smaller more awkward areas). Working at around 4000-5000 orbits per minute (speed 4-5 on most dual action machine polishers) using light to moderate pressure should enable you able to correct around 95% of the defects present in just 1-2 attempts per panel. To get an even higher level of correction, or to tackle any remaining deeper defects, you could switch to Gloss-it Extreme Cut in conjunction with Gloss-it Lambs wool pad followed again with Fast Cut white foam and Extreme cut (5.75 inch pads on a 5 inch Evo flexible backing plate for larger flatter areas, and 3 inch spot pads on
