I am trying to master this seemingly difficult subject fo paint care on my black 190E, and although I think i'm using the correct procedures, something is going wrong. Here's teh problem. After a thorough cleaning, I use the Meguiar's #2 fine cut cleaner to remove light scratches and other imperfections. I'm using a random orbit polisher with terry applicators. Once finished, I have more swirl scratches than when I started. The terry cloth pads are clean, although used. (I wash them in the washing machine after use). I follow the #2 with #7 show car glaze and #26 wax, but of course this does nothing to remove the swirls and scratches. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
