Is it not impossible to learn how to correct your car paint - this is an restoration work but however it is easier to prevent it from thrashed,
IMPORTANT NOTE
you dont need to goes thru this process if you prevented it
"from the start" " at the begining" when u got your car or after repainted - wash yr car yourself (preventing car wash - as most done by foam sponges & coarse(worn out) MF)
Today patience

had a good good bath

just repainted 2 months ago -
after wash -we clayed using ONR as lube simply diluting 10ml with 500ml water (making it as the cheapest QD only 60 cents)
ta da - very nice reflection picture indeed

but dont be fooled by the hidden light

closer look

Now show me your arsenal

china make rotary & 2inch foam pad & rubbing compound
Confucius once says "Knowing oneself & knowing your enemy - you can win one war"
when i started detailing
I was train in 4 steps paint correction
start with wool then cutting foam pad then polishing foam & finish off with finishing foam
thats means I cut 4 times of the paint to get it leveled up. Thats lots of paint cut away
remember our Clear coat is as thick a news paper or cigarette wrapper & if it is 50% cut/polish away it will be endangered species (permanent damaged)
ta da

hologram
I showed him the right way & only 2 product use - as easy as compound & polish

MAKITA M 9227 - a machine that can last a life time
with the phenomenal combination of Optimum Red foam / wool pad & OPT Hyper spray compound & polish
where it uses " AD aka abrasive diminishing + SMAT "small micro abrasive technology"
making it the most advance in this era

do u know whayt i am trying to scribbles
the encrypted code

it doesnt takes an alien nor transformer to do so
all you need is

know your rotary is design to rotate clock wise - dont goes against it
start from left to right - from top to bottom
place yr pad on the furthest left glide till the furthest right glide down goes 1/2 pass on the 1st passes continue the rest & repeat
start the 1st pass at the lowest speed - for makita speed 1 then gradually moves up to speed 2 & stay at speed 2 & back down to speed 1
LIGHTNINGS
why is lighting so important

No problem looking
but under the proper light - best to inmitate the sun without the heat is halogen

micro marring & scratches appears ( are the not there in the above picture????) hidden in most car park lighting

the key is to keep our pad flat - at all times
