I'm sorry, I must've not been on here long enough to understand but I want to ask you something.

The pictures look REALLY great, and it looks like you removed and fixed all the swirls and scratches.

But you said you didn't remove swirls, just used DACP? How is that different and what is the time difference between the two?

m4gician: I should have phrased my thread differently. Sorry for the confusion. Yes, the DACP did remove the swirls (but not every deep scratch) which is usually what I do at the shop. When a recondition a car for dealer inventory, I remove every scratch possible. That usually involves wet sanding, wool or foam compounding, polishing and glazing. And finally wax. One some black Bimmers, I might spend 12-16 hours on the paint finish alone. Because these cars are for sale, I try to bring the vehicle back to "as new" condition (interior and exterior) as possible.

For this vehicle, I used DACP to remove swirls, but there were a few deep scratches that remained. And, the time it took to complete was drastically shortened from my normal reconditioning process.

Hope that helps understand what the difference in process was.

Toto
