Very very cool, you sir should be on shark tank!

You sir, are correct. If time permits I plan to do the rest of the car this weekend, I will report back with my findings on whether the dots are all over the car or only on the front facing parts.

I have this on my hood as well, have taken my car to big bear a few times, but she's never been repainted. Also, my hood gets super hot thanks to the 6.3L V8 that's crammed in there and 100 degree cali weather. I noticed it right after I used a DA last week. Pic:

Move to cali! Just washed my car this weekend in 73 degree weather. The only thing you have to worry about here is earthquakes... and if a big one hits, keeping your car clean is the last thing you'll be worrying about :)

Good advice, yes you're right I'm probably going to leave as is and go with this method on the whole car unless the master / Mike has a better idea! :) (Didn't have the green one) White heavy polishing pad Flat face for full surface contact. Foam Type: European Prepolymer Size: 5.5" x 1

Just tried Menzerna SF4000 with BuffnShine White Pad on my ceramiclear 07 Benz, one pass and I was able to remove about 99% of swirls. The deeper random scratches (RIDS) are still present. Might need to get more aggressive ?

UPDATE!: Did my first pass with SF4000 today, Looks better, but experts please chime in on next steps ? Process: 1. washed hood (out of the sun). 2. Created Test Spot. 3. Claybar 4. DA with Buff&Shine White Pad and SF4000 5. Wipe Down. On first glance, all the small swirls seems to have...

Thanks mike, fortunately or unfortunately I already purchased sf4000 after reading one of your previous threads how menzerna is great for ceramiclear. If it doesn't work, I'll try wolfgang. I went to the detailing class that you used to teach back in Irvine, your successor taught us some of...

I'll take a picture when I leave work and post it here to show you

Looking forward to this! in the meantime, I ordered some Menzerna SF4000 as you suggested and will try a test spot as soon as I get it.

Read Mike's recommendation on one of the pages in the 'ceramiclear' thread and got: 1. 5 inch backing plate 2. Menzerna SF4000 3. white/black pads This will be my least aggressive approach. If it doesn't work i'll move up to SI 1500

woe is me :( , checked my door panel, color code is C040 (ceramiclear!) Mike, since you've done a few ceramiclear's before, any tips on pad combos ? I'm ok with whatever it takes to hide defects, am just tired of hand waxing, so hopefully this DA will go lightly on my 35 year old bones :p

very mild product = m205/ultimate polish ?

Wow that was scary, I sent a note to Mercedes to confirm I have ceramiclear. I sold the PC back in 2008, and yes the prima products I used were amigo and hyrdo
