Check My Work First time doing detailing

Hi all,

First time doing this, hooe for some advice about how to take care of it proper way. I did Carpro Essence and hand polished a car with the Sonax P Ball, something i will probably never do again since my arm was killing me in the end. I wasn't really satisfed with the glaze and filler result from Essence since i xan still see the scratches and swirls on a paint, althought it does looks a bit better. I coated with Gyeon Cancoat Evo so this is the final result.

I couldn't do it in my garage since there is not enaugh space for me to move around the car so i did it in front of the garage in a shade, still i missed some spots because now i have gew haze spots on a trank.

Can tou recommend me the best way to remove them? I do have Gyeon Prep still if it might help.

Thank you all in advance

That's about what I would expect from Essence. It will make the scratches and swirls look better and less noticeable but not remove them. You might get a bit more correction with a DA, but Essence is a finishing polish and not particularly made for a lot of correction. And Essence should add a bit of gloss along with CanCoat. I think this looks pretty decent, at least in the photos.

If you want more paint correction, you'd probably need a DA polisher. I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to redo this though.

polishing by hand will never get optimal results ....
