Mike,
Last week I purchased a new to me 2018 Suburban with 8,000 miles in black. The paint has a lot of swirl marks from bad washing habits and some superficial scratches that need to be removed. On the last Suburban that I traded in, I did the Wolfgang 3 step process and used the Griots 6" orbital buffer to correct and apply everything. On this Suburban, I am looking to do the Cquartz UK 3.0 sealant and was hoping you could look at my process to validate that I'm on the right track of thinking.
Attached are some photos of the paint, hopefully, it shows enough of the swirls. Do you think I can get by with One Step or should I use Total Swirl Remover and then a Glaze? Just trying to not do steps that aren't needed and if the BF One-Step will suffice then
that's what I'd prefer. Also, any steps I missed or need to remove please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.

- Wash
- Iron X
- Clay Bar
- Black Fire One Step with white LC CCS Smart Pad 5.5" (I have orange ones if the paint seems hard and is needed)
- Car Pro Eraser
- Cquartz: looking to do 4 coats unless that seems unnecessary. Also assuming I'll need 50ml due to the size of the vehicle
- Reload
