XMT #2 Swirl Remover Question

[Totoland Mach]

Okay Autogeek: I started to do a 996 black Porsche this afternoon and decided to use XMT #2 with a polishing pad. Washed & dried and put the car in the garage to get it out of the sun.

I started using #2 and wondered if I should let it "powder" like I do with Klasse AIO or Meg's DACP. I didn't let it powder and the surface had a haze which was difficult to remove.

Question: does XMT Swirl Removal product need to powder in order to work. I ended up using AIO, followed by XMT Carnuba Finish Glaze, followed by Wolfgant Deep Gloss Sealant. I've posted pics in my gallery of the results taken in the garage and will post more tomorrow in bright sun.

when doing meghan's truck and the g35 i did a while ago, xmt #2 didn't seem to do much of anything in the ways of polishing until it started to dust.

Thanks Neothin: that's probably what happened. I'll give it another try on another vehicle as this one is finished (6 hours on the paint).

yep, it sounds like the polish didnt have enough time to break down properly. Slow and steady, rushing polishes is not a good idea, more so on a black (dark) finish.
