| | | 2nd Pass or next step?
Hey all....
Finally got to do a decent XMT polish on my car today..... Used XMT with LC Pads....
Anyway, the car is only 3 months old, but has a decent amount of DIS (Dealer installed Swirls)....
I used the LC Orange Pad and XMT2 did small sections of my hood about 5 mins or so each, and wiped with the Indigo. So, I saw a difference, but still some swirls, etc left.... but after seeing this, do I just assume all is well and proceed to XMT1, or do I make a 2nd pass of the XMT2?
-Thanks

| | | Definately keep trying with the xmt 2, it could very easily take one or two passes before a considerable amount of swirls are removed, depending on how the polish is breaking down. I would actually reccomened stepping it up a notch. You could use a stronger polish like xmt 3 or ssr 2.5, or switch to a stronger pad like a cutting pad. I have xmt 2 with a medium cutting pad with fantastic results, still followed with white pad and xmt 1. |

| | | I hear ya... Thats what Im thinking... another pass...
I dont own xmt3 yet, but do have SSR 2.5 and 1.0.
Is it generally acceptable to switch polishing brands in the same polishing session?
Can I go, SSR 2.5, XMT1, XMT Glaze ?
Would each products "fillers" not jive together?
Thanks |

Thanks | Question 1- Yes
Question 2- I don't see why not! People that has both said SSR 2.5 and XMT3 has about same cutting power.
Question 3- Glaze is the only one with fillers.
You going to post pics when your done? |
