Tough question,can think of any one of the top of my head but I'll throw this one in the mix! 1976(my birth year!)Toyota Celica ST Coupe

You need to consider that If whether you use one or both over the Zymol,you may only get the durability of the Zymol.That being that the Collinite will be sitting on top of the Zymol,I'm not 100 % certain of this,maybe other will chime in on this.Personally I would remove the Zymol before...

Thank you Mr.Phillips.I'll hit it again in a couples of days,heck maybe later.I take a more disciplined approach this time around.I lost focus half way through last time(chasing my loose kitty down) must have got in a hurry to finish before nightfall. I will post my progress.

Ok here's some pic updates,of the front fender of vehicle.It was the last panel I did so may have rushed it a bit,plus I neglected to clean the pad.I will go over it again in a couple of days and see if I can get closer to 100% correction on it.

Cool,good to know ,thanks!

Thanks for heads up on the wool!I do have a line mark on my backing plate,I don't believe rotation cease at any point. I also have some Ultimate Polish for finishing if I were to use more aggressive pads.

I found that quite odd myself.

Thanks Dave.I'm realizing the error of my ways.I will shrink my work are down,and practice practice with slower passes.I also thought the cooking you paint comment was odd as it seems you almost have to try to do any damage with a DA. Sorry no sun today,only rain so no more pics for now.It is...

I think Dave's recco on going slow,should be quite helpfull.No I did not make sure I got the desired results before moving on to next panels.I also did neglect to clean my pad,which seems to be a key factor since the last panel I did was the least corrected. I will also consider suggested pads...

I don't doubt that at all.

Well I'm no pro nor do I have experience removing swirls successfully 100%.I've been reading alot here though and have some suggestions that might be helpful. You have to consider the kind paint you are dealing with,is it hard or soft paint,some paint apparently can be quite tricky. You're...

I followed up the Ultimate Compound with Poli-Seal on two panels and XMT 360 on the other two.

I'm not sure of the context of you question.If you asking how pad dependent each is ,I cannot answer that as I was not really testing them for cut at this point.Mainly trying to gauge their "feel" while working and the look and slickness of the finish left behind.Basically my point was that...

So today was my second time using Meg's Ultimate Compound with the goal of removing the swirls on my black 2000 Corolla's finish.Now apart from swirls the are also many RIDS,dents bumps and bruises scattered throughout the paint.My main goal is to use my car to practice swirl removal. I'm using...
