Thought I would practice on the Doggo van as the paintwork was looking flat and covered in swirls and scratches. Using Rupes Bigfoot with Rupes medium cut polish and foam disc seemed to make little progress. Switched to coarse pad and polish on a small area seemed to make it worse.
Changed the pad to microfibre and Scholl 21 one step polish and started making real progress, got rid of most the superficial scratches and now shiny paintwork. This pad is for medium to hard paint but the vehicle has soft paint and not sure why progress was so slow with the Rupes pad and polish?
The detailing shops will say not to use too much pressure and let the machine do the work but had to apply some to get rid of a deep scratch.
Also mates to get a hologram effect which I then had to further correct to remove. More practice required…..
