    Agree. No fish eyes there.

    The second picture just looks like typical orange peel from the factory to me.

    Just looking at the first Pic you posted again..

    Ref Burning Question --

    Please advise your process, machine, speed, technique, pads, product/s used, in as much detail as possible, so we can give you feedback..

    It was either a Megs XCut MF w/ 2 dots 105 and 2 dots 301. Or

    B&S Yellow w/ Megs M100

    Both on a GG DA speed 5+

    Sorry can`t recall when I noticed them.

    BTW -

    Surbuff on a DA w/ D301 gets most but not all. Even this pad requires multiple passes.

    LeMarque -

    Thanks for the update ref your process..

    On something as big as a Raptor, and trust me, I know how dang big they are, Im assuming you burned through a few dozen m/f to get the correction done, right ?

    If not, you are probably not putting enough pressure on the paintwork and running the machine as fast as it will go to get some pad rotation..

    My first and last experience with anything Surbuf was dismal, it left much marring in the paint, so I put them away and never took them out of the cabinet again.. Over the years, I have heard from many that while they do correct, they do leave marring that then needs to be removed to bring clarity back to the corrected paint..

    Since Surbuf was originally made for sanding wood, I should have known better and not bitten, about 9-10 years ago..

    If you are finding out that the paint is really hard, you need to be able to address that or you will never be done here..

    My personal choice would be something along the Lake Country Cyan Hydro-Shred, Menzerna Power Gloss or Super Intensive Polish and Rotary Power which can take care of about anything...

    I didnt have to use any purple foam wool, etc., on either of the Raptor`s I did.. Perhaps they made the paint even harder in 2014???

    Good luck with this -
    Dan F
