No i didnt do the fine machine polish yet! I wanted to get the car near perfect before I used the fine machine polish because why would I leave swirls in there that couldnt be taken out with the swirl remover and orange pad, then go to the fine machine polish, only to find the swirls would still be there because its a less invasive method.


Should I have used teh swirl remover and then immediately over top of it, use the fine machine polish???

Basically, what i was doing was do a small section (like it says)... wipe it off... take a light to the area i just did to see if all the swirls/scratches were removed... if not, i do the area again till im happy with it (which usually means 100% swirl free)... but if i have to do the area three times, i give up lol... and move on. There's usually one thin scratch that i'd have to leave behind.

No joke, it took me 3+ hrs with just swirl remover to get the car near perfect... and will probably spend 20 more minutes on a section of the hood that has maybe 3-4 scratches in the clear coat.

I plan on doing the machine polish tonight for a couple hours... i'll let you know how it turns out!
