Need a few more details. What are you trying to do, what products?

silver metallic, cc , not a daily driver
trying to remove dull area ( i think from not buffing paint out all the way )
cannot see outside in sun light but can see inside at certain views.

i clayed first , then used colorx , then moved over and used swirlx
this was all done by hand , my polisher should arrive tomorrow!!!!
im getting ccs pads orangs,white,grey,blue. which to use with what ??

Use some Menx, or Meguiars Ultimate or 105 and step down from there.

Better measure the Paint Thickness or you may run out of Clearcoat and be one unhappy camper!

If I Use Swirlx , What Pad Should I Use ?
Im Trying To Sneak Up On It.
Im In No Hurry, Even If I Have To Do It Several Times With Swirlx.
Like U Said , Dont Want To Run Out Of Cc !!

Thanks , Roger

Any chance you get get some pics so we can better help you out?

SwirlX will remove light swirls with a polishing pad on most paints. What polisher did you order?

[rogertheracer]

I Ordered The Meg.g110 Complete Kit.

So I Could Use The Orange Pad With The Swirlx For Starters ?

If That Works, Then Finish Up With A White Pad?

This Is Not The Whole Car, Just 2-3 Places.

Outside The Silver Bright, Cannot See The Spots.

Thanks

SwirlX is really more of a light polish. The Orange pad is a cutting pad and I'd use that with M105 or similar compound and then follow it up with SwirlX on a white pad. Maybe Try SwirlX with the white pad first though.
