Stayed up late and got it all done. Ended up going to straight to a white lc polishing pad with turbowax swirl remover/polish. Due to the lighting in my garage I was checking my work with a halogen light as I progressed. Still waiting for full on sun to really get some nice pics. I topped it with Victoria's concours red wax. Enjoy and sorry for all of the crappy cell phone pics. LOL

Looks great! What's your favorite poison for swirls?

For heavy swirling I start with Menzerna FG400 compound on a medium cut orange CCS pad on my DA polisher. Then work my way down to TurboWax swirl remover on a white CCS pad with my DA.

Looks awesome. How long did it take you do what you did to the paint.
