Using my new Flex PE14 :D Im using a combination of CGC-2 with a yellow lc pad followed by CG P40 polish with a blue lc pad and I finish with Menzerna 4500 and a black lc pad. All 5.5 pads btw

What about using Meguiar's #7? It would save some paint thickness.

Even with the oxidation, that is one beautiful Volvo.

It's one of the few Volvos that actually looks neat. Volvo had been in a box on wheels styling phase that lasted decades. Their styling has generally been so boring, you could count Volvos instead of counting sheep and fall asleep faster.

Are you familiar with Mike Phillip's article on using Meguiar's #7 on single stage paint? It adds oil and nutrients that feed the paint to give it back it's rich luster without needing to polish off that oxidized paint to make it shine. Don't amputate, rejuvanate.:)
