Hard-core CEG'er
This weekend I decided to clean up my car a bit so I bought some Menzerna One Step Acrylic Jacket and had at it with my brother's porter cable 7424. It went well for the most part, but I still have problems with door panels. I still get those ghost-like buff marks in certain lighting/angles that just seem to move around. I used to get these alot when I would do waxing by hand.
I know there can be many factors to this. For instance, I don't have a shaded area, so I'll do one side that isn't facing the sun, then turn the car around and do the other side. Once I do this, I see all the flaws in the buffing that I couldn't see in the shade. Then I'm trying to buff a hot panel. Maybe too much product? Not working the product long enough? Not letting it haze up after I'm done for long enough? I'm pretty sure I'm using way more force than I should be for buffing/product removal.
