Got to try the Finishing Glaze and Pad Conditioner on the wife's daily driver: 1996 Pathfinder with 164/k miles. This is garaged at night and parked outside daily.
1. XMT Pad Conditioner review. Easy to use product with very noticeable results on start-up of the pc. A quick spray before you apply your product will moisten the pad and it seems to work as advertised.
2. XMT Carnuba Finishing Glaze. This product is quickly becoming a favorite item. It applies easily with the pc set on 4. I did a panel at a time, worked the product in several directions until a slight haze was left, and lightly buffed the remaining with a mf towel. The Pathfinder's paint was deepened in color and the gloss was incredible (see photos). Unlike the Mach 1, this is a daily use vehicle. I'll follow up with a report on durability.

Here's a hood shot. The sun was trying to cooperate on Sunday, but kept ducking behind the clouds.

Tried to get a shot of the reflectivity of the paint by shooting the passenger door. Remember, this paint is 11 years old.

I've posted pics of the Mach 1 in the garage on another post. The photos are not too good due to the rain and I don't have a tripod for the camera.
Overall, the new Pinnacle products are WINNER'S. I'm going to try the swirl removal products next weekend on a Black Porsche twin turbo that has lots of light swirls (the owner of the car will not heed my advice on proper washing techniques).
