I just got done compounding my car, using 3M Perfect-It, and a medium cut pad with my Porter Cable. My question is, which product should I use to remove the compounding haze before I Zaino it? Should I use the same 3M product, with a different pad, or go with something else? Car looks awesome so far! I'll post before and after pics if they turn out ok (I don't have a digital camera, just a 35mm that I copy onto a cd, so quality isn't always that great).

 

Once you compound you need to polish the paint. Did you buy the pads for polishing along with the the polish?

 

yes, I did. I have the polish pads, and the waxing pads, although I wont' be using the wax pads since I'm going to use zaino.

 

Then polish away If you have a garage with flourencent lights that would be best. You'll see all the imperfections that the compounding left behind that need to be polished out. Have at it. I would use the same compound with a polishing pad, then move on to another pad(so your not mixing the compound and the polish) Then poilsh the car with a polishing pad and then again with a finishing pad. Once that's done you should be good!
