Menzerna FPII + s100 pics

so some of you may have seen my previous thread about swirls/holograms https://g35driver.com/forums/care-detailing/113202-question-about-swirl-marks-after-polisher.html , after getting some info from G35stilez (thanx a lot ) i went with the menzerna FPII, lake country finishing pad (rotary) and i topped it off with s100, to be honest after the menzerna i didnt feel/see a need for wax, it was a HUGE change, no more swirls, paint was shinny/clear and had more reflection, i did clay the car about 3 weeks ago and them i compouded it (that was my mistake, i didnt finish it off ) hence the reason the holograms on my car, well anyways heres the pics, i will try to take pics when its not as cloudy, sunny Florida eh?

how long does it take to polish the entire car using a circular polisher and FPII? It always takes forever (8-10 hrs for intensive polish, FPII, FMJ) using the porter cable

What kind of pads are you using?

Maybe your not using a pad thats not aggressive enough. It would take much longer to acheive the results your looking for if using finer pads.
