Erm, can let us know what polisher exactly are u using?

To clarify your steps, compound and polish cream is not "applied", u should be "rubbing" or "buffing" the compound/polish cream. Try google some car detailing videos on youtube to learn more.

Also, wool pad is not meant for buffing out waxes. Wool pads are the roughest pads meant for compounding (removing deep scratches and imperfections). A wax pad or finishing foam pad is used for applying waxes, then a clean microfiber cloth is used to buff off the excess residue.

If u find difficulty buffing off wax residue, that means u applied your wax too thick. Try to apply thinner coat of wax instead.

In general, pads are defined by their hardness, the harder the pad the stronger cream is used.

1) Hardest pad pair with compound cream
2) Medium pad pair with polish cream
3) Softest pad pair with wax

Again, compounding/polishing is not applying cream. Think of compounding/polishing like sandpaper, compound cream and hard pad is like rougher sandpaper, polish cream and medium pad is like fine sandpaper. U are using the cream and pad combo to polish (remove a fine layer of paint) from the surface. So after running the combo for a short period of time, wipe off residue compound/polish.

Only wax is considered applied on, because it has no abrasives and is meant to add protection to your car.

Maybe u should take some photos of what pad and creams u have and post here, then ppl here can assist on advising u further.

5 inch pads are cut abit bigger than the backing plate measurement, so u should have no issues if just getting back 5 inch pads.
Mmm, from the looks of your photo, it looks like all your products are either AIO creams, or just pure wax. Sorry, I dont read Chinese, so cant tell exactly what the other 2 products are. However, AIO creams do abit of compound/polish and usually leave a thin layer of wax.

As for your Osren product, did u consult with Osren on how to use it? They should be able to guide u.

In terms of your foam pads, u probably need a wax pad to apply waxes.

Soooo, I had been having an annoyance with my relative's Myvi headlights whenever I see the car. It is quite an old car, about 2006-2007 model. Today she managed to spare abit of time for me to polish it while she attended her class. Just sharing some pics of the work:

This is how it looked like at the start. Both sides are almost equally faded and whatever film protecting it long gone.

[attachmentid=9171776]
Started with 1000 grit wetsanding by hand using forward-backward motion. Alot of brown water dripped off cuz I didnt wash or clay before starting.

[attachmentid=9171780]
Followed up with 2000 grit wetsanding by hand using left-right motion.

[attachmentid=9171782]
Final wetsanding by hand with 3000 grit using forward-backward motion.

[attachmentid=9171769]
Just to show the left one after completing the same wetsanding process.

For compounding, I used Meguiars m105 with microfiber cutting pad. For polishing I used Meguiars m205 with black finishing pad.

[attachmentid=9171784]
Finished result under semi cloudy daylight. Didnt have any appropriate protection product to apply, so left it as it were.

For this short detailing work I used the following products:

1) Machine: Rupes LHR21MkII, 5" backing plate and washer mod, mostly running speed 3 throughout the process.
2) Sanding: 1000, 2000, 3000 grit sandpaper
3) Compounding: Meguiars Microfiber cutting pad and Meguiars m105 Compound
4) Polishing: Meguiars Black finishing pad and Meguiars m205 Polish
5) 3 regular microfiber towels

Overall had only about 3 hours to get this done cuz she needed the car back after that. All the work was done within 1.5 hours. I think the lights came out okay considering its age. When turn on the headlamp lights can still see the little hairline cracks inside but cant do anything about that.
