Will Pinnacle XMT series swirl removers be available in larger then 32 oz refills? More ounces for the buck.
Just wondering?

Not to go OT but sorta the same....

I wouldnt mind seeing XMT pad cleaner and conditioner available by the gallon as well. That would be nice.

I'm about to order the XMT series... How do you all like it? Is the #3 very good at polishing out the deeper swirls and such? Or is there a better compund you recommend?

I love the XMT 3!! Look at this picture of this VW bug. Half of the door and the fender had been done in XMT 3 and the other half was unpolished.

wow, that's amazing. Looks like you used the orange pad?

And did you go straight to a glaze after that, or did you use #1?

Yes. This car had clear coat failure in several places so I had to treat it gently. I used XMT 3 with the orange pad on the entire car, followed by XMT 1 and the polishing pad and finished it off with the XMT carnauba finishing glaze applied with the finishing pad and then Souveran paste wax. Here it is after I finished the detail.

That's absolutely gorgeous. Is it recommended to use the #1 after the #3 usually? Or is it safe to go straight to the glaze after the #3?

If you are using the orange pad and the car is not black, then I would say you could go straight to the glaze after the 3. It finishes down really far to where it is pretty much LSP ready. If you're using a yellow pad then I would recommend the XMT 1 with a polishing pad.

#3 will leave some slight micromarring. its not very noticable but its there, the #1 will remove the light micromarring haze, then you can glaze or seal or wax. id recommend using the #1. i recommend the entire XMT line and would definately buy in bulk sizes! theres obviously a demand for it, ahem Max! wink wink haha

Wow. I don't think my mind could take knowing that you could get XMT in 32oz. or gallons!
I would be in!

XMT#3 is so good. Here it on black, in the sun (82* day), on a heavily water spotted/oxidized 300C.
