Given this answer, I think I may give cquartz a try then. I have some swirls that I've been unsuccessful at removing with a polisher but have been filled easily with the blackfire sealant.

So multiple coats could have more swirl removing properties than a single coat?

How long does the reload last between applications?

Please post pics if possible, thanks

The sealant: BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection, paint sealant, synthetic sealant, blackfire sealant I've been very happy with it, I find it does a good job of filling swirls bu

Right now I use blackfire wet Damond and have been happy with its light swirl filling properties as well as the durability. I'm reading now about this additional cat. of LSP which are ceramic/nano and last much longer. I'm wondering if I would get the same swirl filling properties with something...

I recently applied meguires nxt wax, I've read sealants don't bond well to synthetic waxes. Should I use a pretty wax cleaner to remove first?

Blackfire Wet Diamond

Assuming your done with the polishing step and getting ready to add sealant as the last step, is there any advantage in using a pre-wax cleaner versus doing an IPA wipe down? Wouldn't either remove any polishing residue that could interfere with the bonding of the sealant?

Is D300 + Mequiar's MF Cutting Pad much stronger than M105 + Yellow Foam Pad? I tried searching this and found mixed answers.

Thanks, I did mark the backing plate so I'm able to see that I'm getting good rotation. Looks like I have to reading to do.

Are the Meguiar's DA Microfiber Discs required to use their special backing plate? I currently have the Porter Cable 7424 with the backing plate included in this kit: Porter Cable 7424 Complete Starter Kit, Porter Cable 7424 buffer, Porter Cable power tools Also, how much of a step above the...

Do you wax after using sealant or does sealant replace the need for wax?

I've used swirlx/UC by hand to get out holigrams/swirls from a poor buffing job but I found it didn't make much of a dent in small scratches. I only went over each spot twice though.

One last question, I'll probably hold off re-painting the hood for awhile given these artifacts are not really noticeable unless under direct intense sun light or shinning a bright light directly on it. Are there any polishes/wax combos that are good for covering up these type of artifacts up?

Absolutely, this was my first post on the forum and I've already learned a ton. Thanks again!

So I had Rasky1 take a look and confirmed that it is indeed under the clear coat. In order to fix it the hood will require a repaint. Thanks everyone for your help on this, especially Rasky1 aka Chad who was very helpful in diagnosing the problem after looking at it in person.

Thanks for the additional info, I found someone with a similar issue on their black Nissan Sentra in your informational post on clear coat burn through from 2013. He didn't post what the resolution was but the marks in his pictures look very close to what I have...

Hi, I read your post about the milky spots you had on your Nissan, it looks very similar to marks I have on the hood of my cts-v. What did you end up doing to resolve the issue?

Not for the problem specifically with the hood, It had quite a few swirl marks & paint scratches on the entire car from the previous owner that I wanted buffed out. They performed a 2 stage buffing on it which lead me to notice the hood problem after getting it back.
