Looks great! Dramatic difference.. Now all that's left is to finish the entire car... For maximum protection (Paint Protect 365 not included), go for ultimate paste wax, goes on real thin and easy, removal is effortless. Nice depth and crisp reflections, or you can go for looks, in which case, gold class carnauba plus is your ticket. Not as durable as ultimate wax, but it wins in giving depth and that wet look that is a must for dark colored paint. Or you can top ultimate with gold class, so many options!

I did, I finished it, applied polymer sealant, then used ice spray wax.

Nicely done.

M9 (Swirl Remover 2.0) is intended for use with a rotary, but hey, whatever works!

According to the bottle I have, it is a rather versatile product; it can be applied by rotary, DA or by hand.

Perhaps they changed it with the 2.0 version. Either way, nice work

Looks much better. Ultimate Compound would do wonders to knock out the deeper stuff. Even White Wax might knock those out. You should try some different combinations (UC/UP, white wax) since this looks to be your test subject . Keep up the good work .

This is


That you did this with M09 and a CCS light cutting pad is all the more impressive. And before anyone looks at this and says "well yeah, but it's not perfect", just keep in mind that "perfection" is not always what the customer is looking for. Plus, if this is an early attempt in one's paint polishing career, it's a stunning result. Especially considering the combination of liquid and pad.

Jeremy, have you tried using Ultimate Compound yet? Yes, it may be "just a consumer" product but as a direct derivative of M105 Ultra Cut Compound it uses the same SMAT abrasives technology, so it cuts faster and still leaves a great finish. Pair that with our new DFC5 burgundy thin foam cutting disc and it will transform your 7427XP buffer. M09 is a perfectly fine product, but it's cut is fairly low and it uses our older diminishing abrasive technology. Not that that's a bad thing, but if you're looking to really push your skill set, the last technology in this game will take a lot farther in the long run.
