Yep - that's what I am referring to. I also forgot to mention that I followed the cleansing lotion with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. What would I need to do to get the paint in a condition to do some correction? Would I have to remove the Sealant?
I am just wondering if I alternate with pad an product. In other words, start with a white pad with the least aggressive product, then a more aggressive pad with the same product; or, advance to a more aggressive product with a white pad?
Thanks again - you have always been great help.

Hi Ed,
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant is a pretty nice sealant and does a great job at protecting the finish while providing a nice shine. Like all other sealants, it comes off very easily when using a paint cleaner or polish.
Initially, do a test spot to determine the choice of pad and product to use. If the defects are minor then you'll probably be satisfied with the lesser aggressive combination. The results of both will dictate your approach.
The Pinnacle Twins I mentioned are relatively mild in the terms of aggressiveness so you might want to start with the swirl remover and an orange foam pad...
Foam Pads
Yellow Cutting Foam - Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange or white pad and a fine polish to refine the paint until it is smooth.
Orange Light Cutting Foam - Firm, high density foam for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers. It’s an all-around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.
White Polishing Foam - Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so it’s perfect for pre-wax cleaners.
Gray Finishing Foam Pad - Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes.
Blue Finessing Foam – Pad has soft composition for applying glaze, finishing polish, sealants, and liquid waxes. Flat pad provides full contact with paint surface to minimize the pressure applied by the user.
Red Ultra-soft Wax/Sealant Foam - This soft, imported foam is ideal for applying the final coat of wax or sealant. The foam works especially well when applying liquid waxes or sealants because it is firm enough to keep the majority of the product on the paint, rather than soaking it up. The red foam has no cut or cleaning ability.
