Id start with the orange pad and swirl remover #1. Make sure you watch the vids on AG about how to use the PC.

Just used the Xmt 1 for some swirl removal, and it did a good job. I used the megs 8006 pad, thats the medium pad. but look at swirl removal here: http://www.autogeek.net/po.html

P21s by hand works fine. MF for removal

Nice ride (avatar) Evo 4?

There is no way can go wrong with the PC, the only way you can damage the paint is by throwing the machine at the car lol
I used to be so freakout about the PC and the pain now it's quite the opposite.
