Going to go home in an hour and try this one more time and hopefully correct what I've done. Someone mentioned the compound drying before Im finished, I think that might have been happening.

Increased the speed to 5.5 on the DA, and applied more pressure then I was before, boom looks about 15 million times better! Its not perfect, still small micro scratches, but I think a few more passes and those will disappear.

Black shows any flaw but looks the best if done right.
Here's my 07 Escalade with over 100k miles on it.  Here's some scratches somebody left for me on my 3 month old Challenger SRT8.  Here's after I wet sanded/buffed/polished

Ugh, hit a wall again. I have definitely made progress, but I literally spent 6 hours today on one section trying to get it perfect, and I still have haze and micro scratches. Im so stumped, I feel like I have tried everything and Im just going in circles now. Im going super slow, I tested my pressure on a scale and it feels like Im getting it right around 12 pounds on the car, keeping the speed just a tad below 5 now, still using the the m105 with the orange pad.

I tried the m205 with the white pad before I stopped today, and it was hard to tell because the sun was down, but with a flashlight it looked like there was less haze but I could still see the circular scratches.

I'm sorry if that's harsh but I really have no other advice for you at this point. I have literally never seen damage like that from a DA polisher. I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not gonna dig yourself out from that one. Something is getting lost in translation here. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Yeah I figured. Oh well, was worth a shot. Anyone want some pads, and A bottle of m105 and m205?
