I had my car completely repainted and of course it's a swirled up mess. Here's a pic before polishing:
So I have polished half of the hood stripe with 3 passes each (9 passes total) of SSR, SHR, and FMP using a porter cable.
The swirls are coming out, but there are longer, deeper scratches underneath which I would imagine is from wet sanding. They aren't bad enough to feel with my fingernail, but they are there. I'm not sure I want to tackle going more aggressive so I texted my painter. He said he would hit it with the buffer but at the same time I'm not sure I want to take it back to him. Plus the car is in my garage washed and clay barred.
I'm not sure if I should keep polishing with SSR, SHR, and FMP or if I should just bite the bullet, take it to him on Wednesday and then start over next weekend.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
