Before and afters
Worst mark on the bonnet, better here but got another hit the follwoing day with a spot pad and S3 before refining to get rid of more of these marks

This shows that even sometimes its not possible to get it 100% this was 4 hits with a heavy cut pad/polish combo! Been machined before and readings were low so safer to leave then to go any further
1st hit
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2844709a.jpg
2nd hit
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...pse83054f4.jpg
3rd hit
http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...pse881e64d.jpg
4th hit, not much improvement there so time to refine the finish
