Make sure your doing more than just two passes and be sure that you are gradually easing up on the pressure toward the end. I always just use the weight of the machine only on my final pass. Don't move too quickly and use even pressure. Definitely hit that paint up with some cleaner to bring it back to life. That's one thing I like about the paint creme meguiars makes.

It's complicated because it is difficult paint to work with. Mike Stoops, over at Meguiar's, did some testing on 'soft', difficult to work with paint on a black 2008 Civic. The car owner was invited down to the Meguiar's shop specifically to handle the hazing effect of not-so-aggressive polishes. You can see the thread here if you are interested.

Unfortunately all paints are different and this is a new problem for me. I don't have these issues on my black CTSV, M105/Orange followed up with M205/white looks like glass afterwards. I've even seen some paints so hard they finish out perfectly with M105 and a finishing pad.

As for the M205 on a orange pad, I'm getting hazing with M205 and the Gray finishing pad, although slight.

I put in an order for some Menzerna 85RD and new Hydrotech pads. With the Color X results and everything I've read about the 85RD, I'm very optimistic that I'll have all of the haze gone.

if itll work on subaru paint it will work on s2000 paint

it does sound more and more like the method of application of the 105 is the issue.

You'll love the 85rd. It's unfortunate that an 06 would require so much correcting.

Then again, my 05 has several marks from a previous owner that will never come out. Than goodness for gpw.

try using 105 with a white pad and 205 with black. the s2000 has pretty soft paint.
