JUNKMAN take a look inside

first let me say i am a huge fan of your work .
second i bought a pc 7424 and im teaching my self along with your awesome videos how to polish and detail .
butttttt ..... i cant seem to not get swirl lines in the paint
i am using on speed 5 and a very slow movement in a up and down and then follow with a side to side ! but when im done with the polish and i rub off excess i have a couple of lines .

is this normal and the wax will get rid of it or WTF am i doing wrong ???
i am sure its hard because your not here to see it but any advice would be appreciated ! thanks and once again im a huge fan of the skills you posses

What products/pads are you using?

Also how many passes have you done? I see a noticeable improvement from the first shot to the last so you are making progress.

What you need to do is first wash the car using DAWN to remove EVERYTHING off the car, use the two bucket wash method. Do the BAGGIE TEST, then clay the car if or where needed. THEN since you have the PC now, you need to get Adams Swirl and Haze Remover, Maching Polish, and Machine Wax. First, watch all the videos from Junkman. Then start with the Swirl an Haze Remover, do the WHOLE car at each step. then the Machine Polish, then the Machine Wax. this will solve your issues.

I googled but came up blank on "3D Imagaing Polish". Theres 3D Products, who make the HD car care line in Santa Clarita - is that who you went to?

If they only gave you one "polish" and one "wax" then the polish is likely only a finishing product, a good paint correction process is gonna be 2 stage... a more aggressive product to remove the swirl marks and a finer polish to restore gloss and remove any artifacts left behind by the first product.

THEN you'd apply a wax to protect the finish.

Dylan is right... you need at least 2 steps in your polishing process... the stuff you are using probably isn't strong enough O_o. Goodluck
