    Preparing for swirl correction?

    The Klasse is only a sealant. But it does mask the swirls a bit. I think thats why you cant see the swirls on the hood after the Megs DA MF. Thanks for the words of encouragement!!

    Preparing for swirl correction?

    I had machine on too high I think. I think that's exactley what I did was work it too much! I'm learning though and will get better next time! I had never used a polisher before this....

    1-step with Meguiar's MF Cutting Discs, D300, Optimum Spray Wax...

    Looks good! I wish I got that great of a result, but it was my FIRST TIME EVER so I guess I have a ways to go. How do you do the curves on that thing? That's one thing I haven't quite figured out how to do yet.

    Preparing for swirl correction?

    I liked the air method also. Really cleans nicely! I think this whole thing will be a HUGE trial and error and learn as I go thing! All this GREAT advice will really help. I all ready see a few things I did wrong and/or need to improve on! Thanks everyone. I have some pics of before and...

    Preparing for swirl correction?

    Ok Thanks! I have the mark on the pad. I "think" I'm priming the pad and using enough polish. I make 3 lines like jail bars and then on the outside edge all the way around the circle. How many section passes do you do with the finishing compound?

    Preparing for swirl correction?

    Nope its original paint. I'm sealing it and waxing it now for the weekend. It's gonna have to be a project for a different weekend now. I'll try that next time. Do you think maybe I was pressing too hard or not enough? Or is it just the speed? I did 5-6 section passes for compound and 4...

    Preparing for swirl correction?

    So I gave it a try on the hood of the car. I used the GG at speed 5. I thought I used the right pressure. I used the Meguiars DA MF system (both steps). When I was done I noticed much smaller swirling. It looks better but what did I do wrong? HELP

    Ready to buy...tooo many choices! help!

    Do a google search for the GG and spend some time on that. I guarantee you'll find it for $30-$40 cheaper than the PCXP. I did and it arrived today (AG price matched it).

    Preparing for swirl correction?

    No worries ;). I got the GG but didn't get to use it. Had to run errands then go to work. Hopefully tomorrow otherwise it won't be until after next weekend :(

    Before and afters

    I bought a spray bottle at home depot for $1. It has marks on it all ready for dilution ratios so it's SUPER easy. I mixed it to about 2.5:1. I just used a regular old rag for the optimum and the microfiber towel that came free with the DP. I really like the rag! Need more of them! And...
