soft paints dont work with these blades. i have seen problems occur with perfectly clean cars and brand new waterblades. paint must NOT be scratch sensitive.

less of the color beneath it.

out a system to keep my paint flawless. It was PITA and to people that actually care, nogaro will micromar with the use of a glaze and a finishing pad on a PC due to the low speed. i found a polish with a diminishing abrasives that i can use to get it out. nevertheless, we came to the conclusion that the blue pearl clearcoat they use is very very soft and very scratch sensitive. FWIW i had a Light Silver Metallic A4 before this car and it was a totally different animal, the clear was VERY hard. Then again silver is normally low maintenance. I have also polished volcano and Brilliant black and neither were remotely like this.

So what are you using now? and what's the technique for use?

dewalt 849, just a few quick passes to remove the micromarring. Then using that same polish on a PC @ speed 5 and working it all the way in and it is working. I have been looking for other diminishing abrasive polishes but this is the first i have found that works well. The P21S is a great sealant but doesnt really hide much... I use their carnauba paste. Then again i like the finish to be perfect not just appear perfect.

Menzerna twins? They have diminishing abrasives and the tightest quality control on abrasive size in the industry.

Maybe i will pick some up and give it a shot.
