Using the "dry" red pad #3 by itself won't scratch the paint?
For some reason, I can't comprehend this, a dry foam pad not creating micro marring/scratches, and am very apprehensive to use in lieu of the instructional video!
Can someone Please explain!
Thanks,

Never used their products, but from the results, and the way it is applied, it seems to be like a fine cut rubbing compound.
Years ago, I used a fine cut rubbing compound on my pickup, and the results were the same as what I am seeing in this thread, which causes me to ask is the Chadwicks product a rubbing compound?

I also would be curious to know how heavy or fine the cut is. The term "paint correction" implies it has some level of abrasiveness to it, but I doubt its anything as course as a compound, as the use of a finer cut would be required after using the heavy stuff...it's probably more like a finishing polish in terms of abrasiveness, but I'd like to find out for sure...to the OP, your car turned out beautifully!

It looks good and clean. I'm just not sold that mine wouldn't be just as clean using off the shelf products. And I'm asking specifically about the paint correction system not just the detail spray. Is that what you used? Did it do anything to make the metallic pop more?

I'm also curious to find out of it actually removes the fine scratches and swirl marks, or if it just fills them. A lot of today's products are nothing more than fillers, which eventually disappears and you're left with the same imperfections in the clear coat...I would rather use something that eliminates them...

it does eliminate them, does not take any clear coat off period !!!! and like I mentioned it's a trade secret. call Neil and maybe he will tell you everything you need to know !!http://chadwickstripleplay.com/
It's physically impossible to remove scratches without removing any of the clear coat...
