So you think that a LC white with M205 should be enough to cut through my micro marring? And to buy the M105 and LC orange just in case?
Thanks again for the help. So start to finish...
1.Wash
2.Clay bar
3. PC7424xp LC white pad +m205
3a. If swirls still appearent move to LC orange +m105?
3b. Follow with LC white +m205
4. LC Grey+m205
5. What type of was do you recommend?
6. Any pre wax cleaners?
Thanks again

It should have the cut, but it's always good to have a backup in case.
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Tape
4. Use the 7424XP with M105 and LC Orange Pad
5. Use M205 with LC White Pad
6 Use M205 with LC Black Pad to finish up and go slow.
7 Light wash to remove dust.
8. Meguairs NXT Wax
9. Enjoy your ride.

unfortunately, i learned this the hard way. since i was totally new to this, i thought i could get away with 1 pad for each color. boy was i wrong. lets just say i got through half the car and my orange pad started to rip and couldnt finish the car. get at least 2 but def should have 3-4

I just use a mild soap and work it into where the polish was and then soak them in cool to warm water for a little bit and then let them dry. Don't use hot water or a strong soap or it will ruin the glues bond and start to cause the back of the pad to separate. There are special pad cleaning products that might work better but I have never used them.

I would just stick with mainly the regular orange pads and maybe experiment with 1 tangerine if you want to try it. You won't need the cyan which is pretty aggressive on your paint. 6.5 in pads are not going to do a very good job of correcting swirls/scratches with a PC either, I would get 5/5.5 inch or 4 inch for correcting.
