So About 2 months ago I took my first swing at machine polishing with the flex on my car and it came out great. Fast forward to now, I've washed the car between 3-5 times since them and today I went out to grab a couple spots of bird poop with the WW and the sun was hitting the paint just right to show swirls worse than they were 2 months ago as well as a lot of light scratching.
When I wash my car I use all adams products and a foam sprayer (for regular hose not power washer)
I use a grit guard in a autozone bucket and it moves around a bit, is this a problem?
Starting to wonder if the wash pads are the issue?
I'm really thinking drying is where my issues arise though. I have been getting a weird residue after drying the car (too much detail spray) that usually requires buffing with a clean microfiber to get rid of. I used a clean Double Soft after the GW drying towel last time I washed the car to get rid of the residue. Could this have caused the swirls and scratches I got?
I also have a suspicion that the water has a lot of minerals and things in it but that's just a suspicion so can't really lay any blame on that.
Overall just really disappointed and unsure of what I did wrong that erased 10 hours of hard work
