I used #80 with a white LC pad things looked very good. Following that with #7 also with a LC white pad and that is were it went down hill. The black paint looked like it had a white haze over it. Next i used #21 with a Black LC pad and it removed the haze. This is the first time I have used these products and would like to know if this is normal.
I thought #21 would only seal and not remove.
Last #26 with a Blue LC pad and it looks OK but not what I would like for it to. So I was going to try two coats of #80 then #21 and #26x2.
Others have looked at it and said it looks great but I think it can be better. I have only used this first process on half the hood, just to see what works best for me.

I would like to post a pick or two but my cam was taken from my hotel room on a road trip.

 

#80 is a cleaner polish and should be used with a polishing pad. #7 on the other hand is a pure polish, meaning it has no cut, or cleaning properties, and thus should be applied with a finishing pad (no cutting action at all). You probably just got some micro-marring and hazing from using the #7 with a polishing pad...I'm no expert by any means but I would say you could clean it up with #9 and a light polishing pad.

 

I would concur with MO...

That or, the pad in question has a bit too much cut or was a transition pad (meaning that they had stopped making another pad with higher cut and started making the lower cut...) ... or, the pad wasn't lubricated enough (a dry pad on a PC on the paint isn't a happy end result most of the time) or, it's a bad pad or, it's bad #7 or, it was user error or, the lunar eclipse last night caused an electrical surge causing your PC to run at higher RPMs thus causing you to burn through the #7 or, you worked the #7 too long (it's not really a 'work it' product) or, you zigged when you should've zagged or...

Okay, I'm out.

I did work #7 to much and will try a black Pad Thanks for the input guys

 

Pretend you don't see this post from me...

MO is correct.

#7 is a Glaze. It should be used with a Black Lake or a Blue. The reason it looked bad could be these 3 reasons.

1. Using a Cut/polish pad, (White) for glazes
2. Too much product
3. Too much speed.

Here is the chart that will help.



I love Lake pads, its my preference, but there is a trick to using them. Using too much speed (which I am often guilty of) can yield some strange results.

Back into hiding I go....didn't want to leave you hanging Falcon, nice sig!!

 

What do u use to lube the pad

 

First off, Rock I didn't even see your post. My bad.

As for Lube, a quick shot of QD on the pad will do. Not WET, just a light mist spray.
