Maro, I could go on for a LONG time about this. I brought my car from a no ding so so finish to just amazing...lots of learning and re-learning.
Ocean blue metallic should be about the same as my Guards Red to bring out the best.
It sounds like you might have to go to a say Medium-Cut compound or as Meguiar's calls it 'cleaner' or you could start with their Fine-Cut if you want to start of less abrasive. You'll need a random-orbital and foam pads. Now trust me when you use a Medium-Cut it will scare you pretty good, the car will total white/haze but moving to a Meguiar's Ultimate Compound or 3M Rubbing Compound and THEN your Mequiar's Ultimate 'Polish' will bring out the true beauty of your car. I've gotten so good at this it's almost like giving away trade secrets. I final switched from a cheapo 12 inch orbital to a Griots 6 and 3 inch orbital and am loving life. With all the steps above I talk about I still had high sun/noon sun cobwebs (like every car I have seen at Porsche events). I wanted to do better. Using the following method I was able to remove those cobwebs and expect to be one of only a few at the car show I'm going to that is web free. Now it is possible just using the Griots orbital with there orange pads is what did the trick...it is a real try and retry experience to become an expert. Anyway the final step I did that made the paint perfect at noon sun was an orange pad with Zaino PC Fusion, then Mequiar's ultimate polish, then Zaino Z-2 Pro applied by hand.
When I first got my car there were many (10 years of cotton towels) micro scratches that on my first attempts were just rounded off and the car looked great, but up close they were still there. It took the Med-Cut to get rid of them.
The Zaino Z-2 Pro is really amazing, ya other stuff will make the car look better then 99% of all cars...Z-2 will take it higher...I'm a believer.
Here is a pic of my car with Z-2 BEFORE I got rid of noon-sun cobwebs. If you want any more details let me know or PM me.
