    :help: Ok, so I tried to do my friend's car today, it is an 05 white Camry. I was really surprise to find that the cc was rock hard. I used the Flex at speed 6 with IP/orange pad combo and I barely made a dent on the swirls. I also tried SFX 1 and a white DAS Pad, and nothing. Man, what a frustrating experience :wall. I ended up just doing the inside while I research other combo for the paint. I need some suggestions. What else can I try? I don't own a rotary nor have experience with one, so what other combo do you guys recommend? Here are a few pics of the paint:

    Yeah, SIP is what I am thinking about next. Is there a big difference between IP and SIP? If SIP with the orange pad does not do the job, what should come next, yellow pad?

    Holy mackerel man. Those are some bad swirls. Give SIP a go and if not, M105 should take care of it.

    Good luck, post back some stunning results soon!

    M105 or Power Gloss, my first choice would be M105 becuase of the way it finishes down so nicely

    It was hard to capture the swirls because of the color, but man, that car is in really bad shape, the worst I have ever seen. What is M105?

    Meguiars M105, it is their new compound that finishes down nicely, just follow up with a finish polish and go to your lsp and you are all set.

    What pad should I use for the M105 if I have to go that route?

    IMHO i wouldnt go wool since you are using the Flex DA...Orange i would try..i havent gotten around to using 105 with a DA (Meg's recommends rotary only) but others have had success using 105 with flex and orange...

    Good point J Bell, Havent seen too many people use wool with the flex. I am just so use to just using a rotary all the time I base it off of that.

    I have been reading quite a bit on polishing options for the flex..i have one and have done some great correction with it...but i envy you Asphalt because grabbing 105 and wool is the best option i would think...im gonna grab a rotary soon...

    I hear you. I've had many incredible results with my Flex, including a Mercedes with hard cc, but for some reason, this Camry just kicked my a**.
