Default Help me remove this hazing from PC7424

I polished my car this weekend with Menzerna Intensive polish on an orange LC pad. I then buffed by hand with microfiber. Then I followed up with Menzerna Final Polish on a green LC pad. When this left hazing I moved to a red pad, but it seemed to leave the same results.

I did apply a coat of Zaino Z5 also.

In anything but direct sunlight or halogens, the paint looks great. The major swirls were removed successfully but I am left with these holograms.

Am I doing something wrong, or is subie paint just that sensitive? Should I move to a menzerna micro polish as a LSP?

pictures of the hazing:







Any tips/ideas/etc appreciated.

Are you sure you broke down the polish correctly?

I'm thinking you may need to rethink your process and spend more time on each panel.

You are not letting the product break down enough. The PC takes a long time to work for each 3'x3' section.
