Today I detailed the outside of my 06 civic. Their were some big scratches so I used scratchX 2.0, deep crystal polish, followed by NXT 2.0 (In that order) It now seems that there are a lot of really small scratches. Next weekend I am detailing a friends Volvo. Would I be better off using Ultimate Compound followed be NXT 2.0. Also, as a finished product how would that look compared to the deep crystal system steps 1, 2, and 3.

Re: Lineup for next detail
You should do a test spot, and if all of the scratches are not gone, then you should either do a second coat or try a more aggressive compound. From least to most aggressive ScratchX 2.0, SwirlX, Ultimate Compound.Last edited by Carfire; May 3, 2009, 07:27 AM.Joel

Re: Lineup for next detail
Ultimate Compound and SwirlX is a great product to use by hand. Tim Lingor did a Volvo and the clear coat was very hard!
Our Neon CC is very hard and UC and SwirlX worked great by hand.
Always do a test spot and start with least aggressive first!

Re: Lineup for next detail
So should I go ultimate then NXT or should I use a polish in between the to? Also do I apply the ultimate compound in a side to side or circular motion by hand?Last edited by Hoffer; May 3, 2009, 12:52 PM.RichardComment

Re: Lineup for next detail
on your test spot do one with the scratch-x 2.0. Inspect the results. If you need more correction try the swirl-x. Check results. Then if the defects are still present try the ultimate compound.
Polish would be a optional step between the paint correction and your lsp.
You can apply the products for correction eithewr way. Whatever you feel the most comfortable doing. Make sure either way you are applying even pressure.
Do not forget to do your test spots first.quality creates its own demandComment

Re: Lineup for next detail
If you use any compound it is advisable to polish prior to protecting.roger

For those small scratches, have you thought about M205?Comment

Re: Lineup for next detail
I do not have M205. I have Swirl X and Deep crystal polish. Which one of these would you suggest to use in between Ultimate compound and NXT Wax?RichardComment
