how to remove swirls + scratches with porter cable?
I have a Portercable with sonus Orange, Blue and Green pads, a few microfiber bonnets, and the original white pc pad.
--------------------------------------------------------------
These are the products I have laying around...
Meg's Scratch X
3m Perfect it II - Foam Polishing Pad Glaze - Dark
3m Perfect it II - Show Car - Liquid Wax
3m rubbing compound
Mothers Clay Bar system
Mothers Carnauba Cleaner Wax
Mothers Showtime Instant Detail
Meguires Mirror Glaze #9
P21S wax
Sonus SFX-1
Sonus SFX-3
600-2000 Grit sandpapers wet/dry
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Twilight Blue sedan. Its an 06. Swirl marks are hectic. I polished using a portercable for the first time about 5 months ago with minimal results, kuz I was/am noob.
So I want to remove the swirl marks, and I have 2 scratches on the car which are pretty deep. I want to fill these in with touchup paint, sand em and polish them.
Can anyone help me figure out which pads to use with which products in which order at which speeds? Thanks!
Also, I haven't been able to find touchup paint for Twilight Blue anywhere.. and ideas?

If so, you will have to fill the scratch with touch up paint and wet sand...
