Paint correction

Tosirius · 05-08-2019, 10:15 AM

I have been trying to correct my paint on my alpine white m3. I have used a bunch of different companies compounds, but the car still has swirls and scratches. I use the torqx with yellow or orange hex logic pads. I have cleaned the car then clayed and iron x the whole thing prior to the compound. What have some of you guys used to correct your car?

I haven't had the opportunity yet to do paint correction on my Alpine White M3 but on other BMWs (with hard paint) I wound up using either a microfiber cutting pad or even wool for difficult swirls and scratches. In combination with a fairly heavy cutting compound they should come out fairly easily.

You could try Meguiar's microfiber cutting disk with DA microfiber compound.
