detailing a kawasaki concours fairing
I have a few scratches that arent buffing out by hand. Some swirls on plastic and tank.
Before i attempt using my porter cable DA, any advice?
I was going to attempt to use a Blue finishing pad with the m205, then bump it up with same pad and the m105 if scratch doesnt come out . Figured less aggressive first.
Then if needed bump it to the orange pad with m205.
Never detailed a motorcycle plastic before.
Any experts wanna help me out, Advice is appreciated
Thanks

Polish paint surfaces using a suitable abrasive polish / pad combination. Most motorcycle clear coats are ‘soft’- use a Griot's Garage Professional 3" Random Orbital and a Lake County (LC) Red foam pad with Menzerna PF4000 and then follow with PF 4500, check surface with a isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipe-down process

TOGWT, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have any of those supplies.
My arsenal consists of the following,
M105,M205 (mcguiars), Menzerna Intense polish, Finishing polish,
Pads..Cyan, Tangerine and white
If you can help me with a plan using these supplies , That would be great.
