Im going to detail her again today. I'll try to get some pics. Anyone with the Griots Fast cream, are you supposed to keep polishing until the cream is gone? How much pressure (on average) should you apply?

They are not coming out in pictures. I can see them under street lights, in direct sun, they don't appear to much. There's even some swirls still. I went over the same spot like 10 times with a little pressure, a lot pressure, no pressure and they are still there. I do not understand why they are not coming out.

Something to note is that all scratches can't be fixed by normal methods. I couldn't get all the above scratches out.

Those look deeper than typical improper washing scratches/marring.

Is it a random isolated deep scratch? There are time when they won't go away because they're deeper than what the pad/polish can handle. Not all scratches are repairable without going beyond polishing either so don't be too obsess with removing them.
With that being said, how much force are you putting down on the machine? When I used to use a PC, I would set it to speed 5 or 6 and put firm pressure down, but not to the point where the pad stops rotating. It's not uncommon to apply 10lb+ of force plus the weight of the machine.

You need to shine the light at an angle and capture the scratches in the reflection of light or turn the flash on your camera and focus on a point away from the scratch, so the scratch shows up in the reflection from the flash. If you focus directly on the scratch the camera won't capture it.

I guess we should have known something was up if you weren't complaining about the vibrations. I think I'm usually around speed 5 or 6 for paint correction. Watch the videos Henry posted, and start with your least aggressive combination and then move up if necessary.

Those scratches couldn't be felt either, but they weren't coming out. It looked like someone dragged a crate across the roof.
At least you found out before we suggested something more aggressive and you attempted to polish it again at speed 1. You would have been really pissed at that point. lol
