hello fiat enthusiast's,

ı would like to ask question about my polishing process. my car is a classic 500 ('69) and last month i was applied some product to direct by hand. it's well better than before, but i can't dissappeared some swirls and heals too. howewer, the car was restored 2 years ago and the paint is quite soft. i'm a second owner and i don't know the paintwork quality how is.(also i'm not an expert) so, under this circumstances i want to re-polish with polish machine.(orbital polisher, rupes or like.) how can i sure the paint is damaged or not ? for example, what thickness is should be now ? and is it any chance to identify my paint to ready to machine polishing or not just myself ? (without visit any detailer or garage)


last products that are used before: meguiars compound, polish and wax.


thanks your support and have a nice sunday!


:)

YOU say the paint is still soft, if it was a quality paint no way should it be soft, I'm wondering did somebody spray your car with tractor enamel or something, as a car painter myself, I would recommend you go to a car spray shop and ask them would they mind looking at your paintwork, before you go using a polisher on its cheap paint, you will just make it worse with a polisher when it starts heating up the paint.
 
I don't want to make anti-advertising, so I will not give the name of the workshop from where I bought the polishing spray. When I last polished my car, there were a lot of swirls remaining. First, I thought it was because of the polisher. I also thought it may be because I don't have enough experience, but unfortunately, it was because of the poor-quality spray. My mate had a good spray and gave it to me , so when i tried that one,everything went well. Don't waste your time with cheap and bad quality products .There are many online workshops with car supplies where you can get high quality sprays .
