Daveyboy:
Course it would. Have faith in das auto lol

dazza:
Not getting on to well with this. Even with the new polisher/polish. Swirls come out easy but scratches that don't even look that deep will not come out.

Am i doing something wrong? I've tried the spot microfiber pad, 5.5 inch corduroy cutting pad, Yellow 6.5 inch pad and the yellow 5.5 inch pad. Had enough now.  :sad1:

dansmith180:
That seems odd.

What size sections are you doing? For instance how many sectors do you split the bonnet into?

How many times do you go over said area before you buff off the polish?

From a scale of 1-10 (one being snails pace and ten being after 7 red bulls speed) how quickly do you move the polisher from side to side/ up and down?

dazza:
I did the bonnet is 6 sections.

6/8 passes before buffing off. Moving the machine slowly hence working on this for over a week.

dazza:
Given up on that panel. TBH once i got the scratch on the bonnet cleaned up. I should have just given it the once over with the sonax and a black pad. The scratches that have always been there don't seem to want to budge.

The black 6.5 inch Lake County css pad works really well with the sonax. Tried the 5.5 inch black hex logic pad and it was pants in comparison. Will be ordering some Lake Country 5.5 inch pads for my next polishing session.
