Steps

Here's how I would go about it. I would start with a test spot.

Test spot instructions. You basically move up in aggressiveness until you find the combination that gives you want you want. You dial in the process before doing the entire car.

1. Try sonus final finish polish on a white pad. Look great? If yes, do the whole car. If not great, see step 2.

Step 2. Try Fixer on an orange pad. All the swirls gone? If yes, see if the sonus final polish on the white or black pads will remove the haze you probably got from fixer. If the area looks good now, do the rest of the car. If the swirls are still there, on to step 3.

3. Try the fixer on your microfiber cutting pads. If that doesn't remove the swirls you're left with two options. Continue to polish and hope you don't go through the clear coat, or just live with the remaining scratches. Again, finish up with sonus finish polish on the white or black pad.

Optional step. Apply the PB black hole. See if you think it adds to the look.

Lastly, apply the wax or sealant of your choice. Just don't use a cleaner wax after black hole, it'll remove it.

The sonus paintwork cleanser, save that to remove the old wax before you wax it again. It's not needed after you use the polishes.

Hopefully someone else can fill in the parts I probably left out.

Also, here's an index of Mike's articles for you to look over.

You can try to see how it finishes. Worst case scenario is you don't like it and then finish with the foam you have.

Honestly, it's all trial and error to see what works for you and your paint. The most important things to remember are: do a test spot, use the least aggressive method first, and have fun.
