XMT and 12hrs

Hey guyz. Well I got my pinnacle xmt products in this past friday and spent about 12 hours b/t Sat. and Sun. detailing my car. I clayed, polished, sealed, and waxed. The xmt products worked very well. I used the xmt 3 with a light cutting pad, then followed with xmt 1 and a polishing pad, and finished with xmt finishing glaze and a finishing pad. I turned my d/a up to 5000 and applied a far amount of pressure. I didn't get as many of the swirls out as I would have liked to but the xmt products did clean and greatly improved th look of my paint. They were very easy to work with and smell great. Some spots I applied to coats of the xmt 3 and put a lot of pressure on th d/a. It worked well but I think next time I'm going to try a cutting pad instead. I think alot of the swirls in my paint are to severe for a d/a and I think the paint on my car is just crappy in the first palce, but overall i was very satisfied with the xmt product. The pad conditioner and cleaner woked well too. If you don't have the xmt products, I would say give them a try, you can't hurt anything. I followed the finishing glaze with klasse sealant and then pinnacle past glanze wax. The car looks very good, but I'm going to try to get it even better.

I also bought one of those pinnacle bug scrub pad. I have to say that was on of the best detailing products I've ever bought. without any pressure i was able to just wipe of bugs and road grime from my car without any scratches. It well worth the money

Maybe we can get a donation cup together, great write-up but you need to share pictures with us. If you live somewhere tropical I will stop by and take some for you! I do love to travel.
