Best pad for swirl remover

[Dschia]

There are many suggestion in the link actually that you may want to try. Sorry to say I have not try to remove water spot by chemical means yet but only abrasion which is tough and hard work without machine. Usually what I do is to wash the area very clean with detergent den clay with slightly alkali shampoo and inspect how deep the water mark is then use appropriate abrasive mean with machine to polish out.

 

New water spot may be neutralise with slight acidic chemical mean so the idea of using diluted white vinger with distill water suggested in the link is worth trying imo and i will try if i got the chance. If you are to try, remember to rinse off fully and wash with car shampoo after leaving it on for 5-15 mins as if can be damaging specially when it react with contaminates outside and our whether act as catalis. (Remind me of donkey yrs ago when in sec sch doing chemistry lesson when you add acid with some solid stuff and burn with bunsen burner)

If no big problem, usually the white and blue will do for maintenance. But I got the yellow and green ones as well. I got the 8 inch ones, and the 4 inch ones. Ordered the 6 inch ones as well because now they belongs to 3M, and who knows 3M discontinue it or jack up the price in future. Hence I stock up. The adapter for Flex XC3401 so expensive, but I ordered them anyway. Somebody supposed to ship for me from USA, still waiting.....

 

Removing defects like water mark is fun, high speed wool pad diamond cut, rotary; but have to follow up with something like DACP and then a finishing product at low speed and soft pad to ensure no hologram. Get the car under the sun, or under streetlight in the night, look carefully. So many cars out there have hologram.....when doing a black car.....I would advice to go one round with DA at low speed, unless you are really a careful person when handle the rotary (slow speed, soft pad, extremely light pressure).
