Nice work. What did you use to get the final results? My understanding is that MB has a super hard clear coat.
 
well it was an 03, the ceramiclear super hard coat started in 04....but it was still a pretty hard clear to work with...I washed then clayed, them started with pinnacle swirl remover and an orange LC pad, and that did ok, but what really took the swirls out was the XMT 4 and an orange pad...took care of the swirls no prob...then i went over the whole car with XMT 360 and finished with a nice coat of Liquid Souverain....basically took me about 5 hours for the whole process..but the results came out great...
 
XMT360 + Pinnacle LS is a great combo imo, looks great on you car.

nice work on a HOT car
 
I wish that was my car...lol...thanks...the 360 is great product, but for real swirl removal i feel like something a little more agressive is needed...as for using the 360 as a polish after swirl removal. i'm not sure i've found anything better...

Wow only 5 hrs. It would probably take me 5 days to get those results. XMT line is awesome, but I don't care for the glaze. Anyway, great job.
 
really, if you do a test panel and make sure you go slow enough to work the polish in, it really doesn't take that long...once I figured out what pad and polish combo was going to be aggressive enough, i was able to polish up the car pretty quick...also putting the proper amount of pressure on the PC makes a huge difference...the machine should do most of the work, but it can't do it all...I do love the XMT line, and i also like the Pinnacle advanced swril remover, but i find it works better on cars that are not black for some reason...
