Wash
Clay
Swirl & Haze Remover with PC (very slow, heavy pressure passes)
Fine Machine Wax with PC

The paint looks wet/awesome but there are still a few swirls. The paint on these cars is f-ing hard! No matter how hard I hit it or how much pressure I used, I just could not get the all the swirls out with the PC and S&H remover or the polish. Had I done this job one of my other American rides, the paint would've been flawless.

I guess I'll have to take it to a pro towards the end of Summer.

I think you need to fly over Anzafin to the SFV.

You know that he can get those swirls out.

Haha ! Just maybe...

But what is SFV in this affiliation?

El Immigrante: Try Menzerna's products and Lake Country pads ! Maybe you need just a bit more abrasive polish to start with.

"SFV" is the San Fernando Valley, a suburban area near LA. The home of our own El Immigrante.

The SFV has some really nice towns such as Sherman Oaks.
