Also get a macro lens so that you can take close-up details of those little nook and crannies once they're super clean!  | imo, a macro lens might be overkill for his purposes. unless you need to show a <1cm spot on the car in amazing microscopic detail

Maybe the product has fillers in it, and after a few washes, the fillers are gone, and scratches are back?

ken is saying to at least try using Menzerna power finish first... but i'm not sure which one and if i have all the pads i need.

You're probably thinking of menzerna intensive polish and variants
But give power finish a shot, its great stuff
Start with a white pad, then work your way up if need be
