[/QUOTE]I use only foam pads. Wool pads are good for fresh paint since they dont generate as much heat but if the car didnt just come out of the paintbooth, use foam pads. Start with a white pad and a rubbing compound, run it at about 1500 - 2000 rpms. I actually usually run it a bit faster and give it medium pressure and then super light pressure twords the end of compounding to help it remove the swirls. Remember you want it to generate heat so but a spot, stop and put the back of your hand on the panel and feel how hot it is. You can get it pretty hot and still be ok, just be careful you dont melt through. Be super careful around body lines and edge of panels, keep the buffer spinning OFF the panel and body lines and not onto them. Then Grab a black pad and some machine polish, swirl remover, whatever your brand of compound calls it and run that at like 3 thousand rpms with medium pressure and slowly lighten up the pressure on the panel as you work it in. That SHOULD remove all your swirls but if theres still some left, depending on how deep they are you either need to go over it with a black bad, or get a blue pad with some ultra fine machine polish, or 3000 glaze they call it[/QUOTE]

Wierd, i always was tought that compound was a more harsh wax and should generally only be used on harsher paint, or deeper scratchs. But ill try that becuase i usually do yellow wool with "ZEP" (i dont know if you have ever herd of them but thats who i use) auto cleaner and polish at about 1800. Then ill move it out in the sun to check it and its all halogramed. It takes forever to just go back over it to get them to go away for like only 5 washes. Keep in mind i just had my car painted 8 months ago i jus tlike to keep it shiney

yea you only need rubbing compound if you wetsanded or if theres a deep scratch. Generally if your just going over a car to remove swirl marks just use a black pad and a blue pad and machine polish and ultra fine machine polish

I just saw the competition. 2 of the nicest cars on CSS. Hard to pick. But I'll probably go with the custom painted Pumpkin!
