GMC Sierra - Metal Flake????????

I had this GMC Sierra that was brought to me. It sounded mean and was dropped. It looked like it was in great shape. It had minimal swirls, light scratched and was waxed nicely. I ran my fingers over it after I washed and the paint was rough as the beach, from the bed back.

Wash with Meguiar's Gold Class - After the wash, I noticed that it had metal flake. It didn't look like it had any when I first got it.

Pinnacle Poly clay - I started with a brand new piece and had to throw it away after I got done.

Menzerna IP on white pad - I love Menzerna, it knocked out the scratches and swirls

XMT 360 on white pad - I was surprised that the XMT brought out the metal flake, it really set it off.

Collinite 845 on a grey pad - My thought was the Collinite would dull the flake but it really enhanced it. Now it's also winterized.
