Evening all,
Looking for a bit of advice and what to try next.
I had my first attempt at machine polishing at the weekend but didn't have any luck removing any swirls.
I'm using the Xtreme DA polisher from Argos (I know it's probably not that great, but reviews were pretty good and was a decent price).
After washing the car with snow foam, 2 bucket method then claying, I made the first attempt using poorboys ssr 2.5 with a chemical guys quantum hex orange pad.
Followed all guides I had watched, pressure seemed right (I marked the pad/backing plate to see if the pad stopped) all went fine, did half of the bonnet, buffed off, made no difference....
I'm 90% sure it will be my technique but want to be sure it's not the products to blame entirely.
Is SSR2.5 aggressive enough?
I appreciate not all swirls are as deep as others, but ssr 2.5 didn't seem to touch them.
Also, what's a good method to remove all previous coatings such as polish, sealant, wax etc to get a good starting point?
Sorry there are so many questions in 1 go, but got lots to learn and a bit disheartened that I didn't get any results!
