        Re: need some advice

        Ok, well without pictures or any indication of how bad the swirls are I would recommend getting some NEW M105 and the newly released M205. You will also want some yellow polishing pads, and a black finishing pad for the waxing step (an extra black pad for polishing is a good idea too).

        Obviously, start with a thorough washing. Then assess and clay where needed. (A good way to test is to wet the paint and put your fingers inside a plastic bag and rub it over the paint- if you feel bumps, it needs clay).

        Then try a test spot with the new M105 with the yellow pad on your PC, and if it is getting the deeper stuff out, then proceed to do the entire vehicle. You will then want to do a test spot with the M205 and a polishing pad, and if that doesn't leave a refined enough finish try the M205 with a finishing pad.

        After you finish those 2 steps follow up with the wax of your choice. NXT 2.0 or M20 would be a good call for a job like that.

        Hope that's a good start for you... (And yes, leave your day open)
