from most agressive to least: yellow, orange, ( i think theres a green now), white, grey, blue if you are using a orange pad already, sounds like you need XMT3. yellow pad is mainly for really oxidized paint and nasty scratches. it might hurt your nice M3 paint. is that leguna seca blue?

very nice reflection! how long did it take you? sounded like you needed alot of different polishes.i see a rotary in the reflection! :)

no problem, the reflection pics can kinda make it seem like a greyish color.

its schwarz (black)

yea i just see which one i need to remove the swirls. usually it ends up being an orange pad with XMT3

XMT2 is very weak, i use it to remove the buffer swirls from XMT3. 3 will remove your swirls for sure and probably alot of scratches. I use XMT3 with an orange PC pad, then follow with XMT2 on a white CCS pad. After that, i use Klasse AIO on white pad, and finally Klasse SG on grey pad and...

my car has alot of swirls, not terrible, but alot by AG standards. I take care of my car really well, i only drive it in the summer, i wash it twice a week, and usually wax once a month. well that was all with those walmart products such as meguiars cleaner wax and gold class and turtle wax...

i just bought a single 600 watt dual filament floor standing light for 16 bucks at sears. works a whole lot better than the 60 watt hand held!

yea the clay doesnt help at all. i think my rims are F'ed

i think putting a plastic bag in the vacuum sounds weird. If you have a shopvac its not that hard to open it up and grab something you accidentaly sucked up. I would be disgusted to see what comes out of all the cars! I do like the baggie idea for putting their random change and stuff in!

they are above the clearcoat, i can feel them.

from my experience, I have been using XMT3 to polish and then applying Klasse AIO and Klasse SG. On dark colors, i cannot tell a difference after i apply the SG. On light colors, such as my rims, it REALLY made them shiny and made it look like my rims had a really shiney and thick clearcoat...

hey killer, a few weeks ago you told me that PB spray and rinse would get rid of my black brake dust specs that were stuck to my wheel. Well, it removed all remaning "stains" but the specs are still there. I even did the process twice and the sprayed again and scrubbed with a bug sponge, but...

thank you whitethunder and nica for the great tips! I think i will be able to use my XMT2 on my own car in a few months once the swirls come back. But right now im polishing mine with XMT3 and orange pad. Its as aggressive as i can get right now because i didnt order a yellow pad or XMT4. I...

i never use QD as a wash because i wash my car once or twice a week anyways. I do use it if i am going to buff my car after washing it the day before. You can use it if the car isnt dirty at all, just a little dusting is as far as i would go with QD, if its any worse, you should just wash the...

hey there, my friends car has some nasty scratches on its trunk, looks to me like whoever owned it before him always set their briefcase or backpack on the trunk. You can imagine what these scratches looked like. Today i tried my best at removing them with my PC. Process: DP clay XMT3 orange LC...

yea just make sure they are clean or else the cleaner wax in them will kill the new good wax if you know what i mean.

nice job, those floormats look really nice! rims came nice and clean too

if you are 17 you should do what all of us teenagers are doing that very few teens do... detail! Im 19 and just bought my PC kit. I got the one with CCS pads, cost about 189 for the kit and then i bought a bunch of waxes and extra polishes, wheel cleaner, a few other things and the total came...

i think that the pads will last a really long time. at least a good 10-15 cars. I have done 2 cars so far with my pads and they get really dirty once the car is finished, but then i just spray them with the XMT pad cleaner and scrub it with my hands in warm water, they come out looking brand...
