Will this work??? Need Opinions.....

[hdoggie24]

Well I have decided against the Megs Microfiber kit because my 97 Toyota 4runner has been repainted on one side and don't want to possibly have a problem. My truck has not been waxed in about 4 years but has always stayed clean and the paint is in decent shape except for minor imperfections and many swirls. I have Megs #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 but heard its not that agressive.....So I was thinking from reading to use MEGS Ultimate Compound and maybe then follow up with the Swirl Remover 2.0???? Would this be a good combination or is there something else I should be doing? Since I have this bottle brand new I would like to use it if its going to work. I am using a PC 7424xp. Will the UC be too agressive for my paint? UC is fairly priced and I like that.....Also, I've heard that pads bigger than 5.5" is not really recommended for the PC 7424xp and I only see Megs 6.5 or 7" pads. I see many use Lake Country pads in the 5.5" and most say stick with this size so here I am confused again. I like Megs products so looking for a solid combo that will work well. THanks for any help

If you can't get 5.5" from Meg's get Lake Country pads. You will also need a 5" back plate for the 5.5" pads. You will need some orange and white pads for paint correction. Not knowing anything about you paint, I would say UC & 2,0 is a good starting point

I am sure you will need to clay before paint correction

So use Lake Country orange flad pads with the UC and then hit with Swirl 2.0 on white flat pads?? Which backing plate would be recommended? Thanks....

If you're going to use UC, why not finish it with UP? Get the LC backing plate, 5" for 5.5" pads, etc.
