Hey,

Depending on how bad the swirls are, I would try using the #80 Speed Glaze, with a W-8006 Polishing Pad and the G100 set to speed 5, first and see if this removes the marring. If so, there is no need to use the #83. If it does not, then you will need to use the #83.

What separates an "awesome" job from a "good" job is the attention to details. It does take a fair amount of time to do the job right. After a while you will get faster at certain steps etc... But in the end, you will be really glad you took the time to do it right!

sure it may take a long time, but just think, when your at the gas stations and everyone is looking at your car as if it just came out from the dealership. wait, even better. i wouldn't even say that 5% of cars here in california are swirl free. thats my guess. good luck. oh and if you don't want your pc, ill be glad to take it off your hands. ill pay shipping

Like Tim said,

• * Wash car
  * Clay car
  * Apply M80 Speed Glaze using dual action polisher wipe off residue with microfiber polishing cloth
  * Apply NXT Tech Wax using dual action polisher, allow product to dry then remove using microfiber polishing cloth

Done.

If the M80 didn't remove all the swirls and scratches, that's going to be because they are deeper and you can just learn to live with them. Regardless, the M80/NXT combo produces better results than many pro detail shops put out everyday.
