Quote: I'm afraid this is gonna be a problem that everyone is eventually gonna face...I had the same thing happen and when I asked my buddy that runs a body shop he said the problem is "there is no hardener in this enamel paint"...
Think about it...you're buffing paint that seems dry and hard but really in a microscopic level it is still a bit soft and when you buff it, you are scratching it. It's a no win situation...no final sand/buff leaves peel and trash, final sand/buff leaves micro-scratches galore...
I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how to salvage my paint job since I completed the whole car before I figured out this problem!!
it's your polishing technique. you most definitely can get those microscratches out. but you're not going to do it with turtle wax polishes. you can polish out almost any paint to a mirror finish with those microscratches/swirling/spiderwebbing. but doing it by hand with substandard products isn't going to work.
