In general, is it safer to stick to the lightest polish (like the OPT Polish finisher) with the grey pad and move up to a more aggressive pad if needed as oppose to a more aggressive polish (like the OPT Polish II)?

Thanks, Should I just stick with the Grey Pad with either of the OPT Polishes?

i do now :) but still have a lot to learn.:hungry:

If I do want to try to tackle it myself, which Optimum polish would you recommend for New Car dealer scratches?

I think I've watch every video I could find on OC 2.0 applications. But now, I'm worried or most concern with getting the paint free of any marring, swirls or hazing (most likely from the dealer) so I don't lock in those imperfections under the OC 2.0. So IPA should be fine after 'Menzerna...

Will doing a post wash with Dawn be as effective?

I'm having a hard time defining and identifying different "swirls". So a new car with dealer towel marks are swirl marks too or just hazing?, I can just use the grey pad for this type of light marks? What Brand of pad do you recommend?

I'll cross my fingers :) but I'm sure the Vermillion Metallic Red won't display and mirror the scratches as a black car, right?

I'm waiting arrival of my new BMW X3 in Vermillion Red. I want to prep the paint before applying a Opti-Coat 2.0 permanent sealer. I'm assuming the paint will most likely have towel marks and very light hazing areas as what most new cars have after leaving the dealer. I have a Porter cable DA...

How good will the results be on removing small swirls or scratches, har water. when using 4 inch pads on a makita cordless drill. http://www.autogeek.net/spot-buff-kit.html Is burning more prone because of the lack of the counterweight effect in the 7424. Using it only on a small section...

oops.. I mean, I only do all my shopping at autogeek. Do I get a discount now :)

Do you remember the other detailing site?

Do we get additional discounts if it's your birthday? -Doesn't hurt to ask.

If put Klasse AIO in same category in terms of abrasiveness ( it does have some abrasive qualities, even though it claim not to)or cutting power, it will be equivalent to which products when used with a PC : XMT1 , XMT2 , Meguiars #82.....

even if the swirl is very light and minor? can I use a more aggressive pad to achieve the same result of the Meg #83? Thanks
