Pinnacle SMT swirl removers.

Okay so I noticed in the AG store there is a video on how to use the Pinnacle XMT swirl removers. I was going to detail my car today that has some fine swirls. I was going to use XMT #2(fine swirl remover) and then go straight to the XMT finishing glaze, sealant, then wax. The video says to use XMT#2 then use XMT#1 and then do the finishing glaze. My question is, is it okay to go straight from XMT#2 to the finishing Glaze or do I have to use the XMT#1 (ultra fine swirl remover) before I do the finishing glaze? I understand that XMT#2 is more abrasive then #1 but will it hurt anything to skip #1?

Edit can a mod change the title to say "XMT" instead of "SMT"? Thank you

I've gone straight from XMT#2 to a LSP or AIO/LSP with no adverse effects. When I first started I went from XMT#3 to XMT#1 before sealing. Even XMT #3 does state on the bottle that a finishing polish may not be necessary. Do a test spot and monitor your results and you'll know if an extra step is needed.

You can go from #2, to the finishing glaze. #2 will leave the surface smooth. I once had to finish down (on a hood) with #2 (then #1) after being very aggressive with #3. I used a 4'' orange LC pad with a considerate amount of force for about 6-10 passes. The finish was left in a ''milky'' type state, but very consistant throughout the whole hood :xyxthumbs:

I've used #2 many, many times, then went straight to LSP :xyxthumbs:

cool good to know...I actually just ended up trying the XMT 360 today.It didnt really get rid of the swirls very well though but, it was okay and gave it a good shine.. I will try the #2 and then the finishing glaze once its above freezing again
