How would I discribe the new Pinnacle XMT #4 Heavy Duty Swirl Remover
I would start off by saying it is like liquid sand paper. And if you listen to the sound when you unscrew the cap, you can hear the abrasives. It has a peach type color, and smells like a compound. It does it's job and finishes down real well. I chose to use my new EDGE pads. I wanted to see what I was walking into. And went with the white polishing pad first, it worked. But it didn't hit some of the more deeper scratches. So I up'd it to the green edge pad.
Bingo that did it.
I did the hood and left side of with XMT4, working very slowly. Spending a few seconds in one spot at a time. Going back and forth, up and down, and any way else. I was very happy with the results, removed almost all the marks. And killed the water spots on the hood. Did about 95% removal. Working time was great, no drying out of product. I did mist the pad before each panel. I then used PB PwS on the other side of the pad, just to cover my butt. On the hood and left side. Then I had an idea, I mixed 1 part XMT4 and 2 parts PB PwS on the right side of the vehicle. It didn't work as good as the XMT4 alone. But it made that side go faster.
I was very impressed with the new XMT4, and will keep it in my arsenal.
It worked just like the bottle said it would. I did use a little too much product this time. I did 4 chic pea size dots, I will have to use 2-3 dots next time per panel.
I tried the DP Premium Surface Shield
Talk about slickness, on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 10+ on that
It went on easy, and dried quickly. I left it on for about 30-45min. And removed it with the cobra jr. towel. And about an hour later it was so slick, I don't think anything could stick to it.
You can see some scratches and spiderwebbing in the sun
