Need a little help with removing these swirls (pics included)

[F-150]

I have DC paint cleaner, speed glaze, swirl remover 2.0, and scratch X (but I'd prefer not to use because it's not fun). I want to use the my G100 but only have 1 w-8006 polishing pad left. So I can't test between DC1, #80, or #9 on a different polishing pads. + I heard DC1 doesn't really remove swirls but I could've sworn I had hard water spots but I couldn't see them today and I remember DC1 worked for removing hard water spots easily. And it was hard to take these pictures because -swirls on white paint are hard to see. -they maybe as minor as they look. -and I couldn't even notice any on some shots.
So what would you guys recommend? (taking into account that "use the least aggressive product to get the job done")







Plus I'm going to use a mf bonnet to remove wax later and is it fine if I just used a finishing pad? I have a lot of them and no cutting pads.
BTW I'm on a mission to hopefully:
clay (I just washed it before the photos and before it got sunny this morning)
Do what I think is best from the recommendations on this post to remove the swirls
#7
M21
All metal polysh
GC trim detailer
if I have enough time today

Here's a better pic of the swirls:

Hey F150,

From my experience with white paint and F150's, I would suggest #80 Speed Glaze with a W-8006 Polishing Pad and the G100 set to speed 5. It may take a couple of attempts per area. Be sure to buff a small area at a time (12"x12"). Work the product until it is a light residue. Your swirls look mild, so hopefully your paint is not as hard as other white Ford paint. If the #80 does not do it, you will need to step up to #83, which would require another W-8006 pad.

But I also must be quite honest, some Ford white paint is hard, REALLY hard! You may need to put a lot of effort in to remove those last swirls. But the results will be worth it!

As for removing product, Mike likes the W-7006 with the bonnet, I like the W-7006 or W-8006 with a bonnet, but the W-9006 would be just too soft for product removal. Instead of using the Finishing Pad and bonnet, you would be better off to use a MF towel.

On a side note, I love the gloss that #7 creates on white paint!!


Good luck and keep us posted!

Tim

-2hotford,

Yeah I was just goin to use #80 but I have #9 and bought it before I new anything about removing swirls w/ a G100 a long time ago and just wanted to find a use for it. And I just wanted to get the job done sunday and the paint shop where I get my pads from was closed, so I'll just stop by tomarrow and get a couple more polishing pads for when I need them eventually and a cutting pad for the mf bonnet.
I'll keep you guys up to date w/ pics but I have to say, I just did a quickie (quickie as in 2 hours) since I wanted to work on my truck and had soo little time. So I just clayed and used my fav consumer product GC wax, along w/ trim detailer, and all metal polysh. I'll post photos tomarrow of what claying, using the products for trim and GC wax did. But sometime this month I'll use #80, #7, and #21 and post pictures right away when I'm done.
