You can see this is after a quick section was completed, the fibers are laid down and are not cutting to their true potential. By using a simple pad brush or an air compressor to "refluff" the fibers you cna rejuvenate the pads quite easily. It is also important to keep the heat down to reduce the risk of de-lamination and the pad breaking down. Keep your polisher in the 4 speed range when cutting and let the pad do the cutting not pressure.
I decided to go after this RID again. Now since its directly near the door jamb and near the side window a full 5" pad wouldn't work. This is why the Porter Cable 7424XP is now dedicated to 3" pads for these tighter areas. I went with a Cyan Hydrotech pad and Menzerna FG400. You can see how easy it was to see even without having to force the camera to focus and in pure daylight.
Here it is after. I could keep chasing it but unless the light catches it perfectly it has diminished by quite a bit.
Microfiber pads have to be dealt with slightly differently than foam pads. If you have any questions on taking care of microfiber pads or recommendations or help with them, feel free to post below. Thanks for reading!
