    So I started to notice that my car has some really bad scratches in the rear. So, I went out and bought me a Porter Cable 7424xp and used some of the new products that i just bought (Pics of everything below). After I tried both the products, still, no change. I went over the sections various times, applied more than 2 coats, and still, no change. So I decided it was the pads so I bought this, http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-330-adams-porter-cable-polishing-pad-kit.aspx Hoping that will do the trick. Just wanted to ask you guys to see if I am missing something or doing something wrong. I hate seeing scratches on my car especially when I really try to keep it in good condition. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry about the bad pics of the scratches, the best i could do :( Oh and these white spots keep showing up after I use my top cleaner :(

    No.At least I don't think so, that has been there since I bought the car. And thanks :)

    Your problem is the 6" bp and 6.5" pads. The PC does not have enough power to spin a 6.5" pad. Get a 5" bp and 5.5" pads. For tighter areas get some 4" pads.

    So nothing is wrong with the products I use? If that's the case, then the Adam's PC polishing kit I bought should do the trick? It has a 5.7"bp and 5.5"pads.

    Why is the bp bigger than the pad?

    The link you provided shows a 5.875" bp which would fit a 6-6.5" pad.
