One thought: On my Civic, I had great success w/ the G110/yellow Polishing pad speed 5, but with the
much more mild M205 polish. Polished out great. Even though it's a finishing polish, I found it to be quite effective on our paint.
I'm thinking that the Ultimate Compound might have been a bit too strong for your soft new Honda paint, and induced some micro-marring at the same time that it was polishing out other swirls.
Remember to start out with the
least abrasive product (Rasky how many times have we heard this on MOL
)and move up to stronger polish if the weak polishes aren't doing the job.
Of course though; once you polish with something strong, you generally want to polish
once again with a mild finishing polish (like m205) to reduce the micromarring that was induced by the strong polish? Make sense? (Another MOL phrase
).
That's just one factor to consider...why your polishing didn't turn out as expected.
