Okay.

Meguiars 105 and 205 actually use SMAT abrasives which are non diminishing. This gives them great cut and the flexibility of polishing as long as needed until the defects are removed. It also lets you use pad choice to adjust the amount of cut to find a correction level you are happy with.

You are correct. The OP, however, is worn out with trying to do this by hand. That's why I suggested the polisher and how to use it. :tup:

Adams or Detailers Domain has a 4" focus pad kit available that will work if you dont want to shell out the cash for a PC. Just be carefull since it is essential a rotary polisher.

Anyways Christian made the same point.

But I agree that there is no comparing doing it by hand vs machine, I only do things like the inside of door handles by hand. :tup:

If its a bump/etching/rough spot. On the nose odds are its bug guts that sat on the nose and ate through some clear coat i bet. It does not take long for bug guts to leave marks and ruin the surface on my black car.

That or rock chips?

No, he used a aggressive rubbing compound on his paint and now it's dull. It just needs to be buffed out.
