So I tried out detailing for the first time tonight.

I used a black pad with Meguire's sf4500 finishing polish and it didn't really get out the light scratches. I switched to a white pad with pf2500 and that got out about 50% of the scratches. I didn't want to switch to the orange pads and si1500 because I was happy with the results for now.

I really need a proper light to see the scratches.

What would be the negative of accidentally using too little polish compound on the pad? I imagine using too much polish is just a waste but won't really hurt anything but just take longer for it to clear out and become effective.
