    Here's what you want to do...

    Wash
    Clay
    M83/W-8006/G100/SS-5.0
    M80/W-8006/G100/SS-5.0
    NXT/W-9006/G100/SS-3.0 x 2

    You've mentioned before that your paint has a lot of deep swirls and that ScratchX didn't remove them. One question and a comment,

    Question: Is this single-stage finish? In other words, it has no clear coat?


    Comment, when using the dual action polisher to remove swirls in paint, the harder the paint and the deeper the swirls, the smaller the area you want to work at one time as to enable the combination of pad, product and cleaning action supplied by the oscillating motions from the dual action polisher to do some work in one area.

    Also, it's important to remember that the dual action polisher is limited in what it can do. It's not a substitute for a rotary buffer.

    That's why the information in this thread has become so relevant and why the thread was moved into the Hot Topics,
