Menzerna FG 400 Compound Removing Swirls

This is a before and after video I shot showing what I was able to do using only the new Menzerna FG 400 Compound. The car is a black, 1964 Pontiac Catalina with a custom basecoat/clearcoat paint job. This means it has the same type of paint a new car has and probably any new car sitting in your garage or driveway.
Hard Paint
From experience, I found the paint on this car to be on the hard side.
The paint job looks to be a fairly high quality custom paint job but there's a lot of swirls and scratches in it likely from normal wear-n-tear as this is a driver, not a garage queen.
Here's what I've done so far,
Wiped paint clean using Nanoskin Glide
Decontaminated using Nanosking Autoscrub Wash Mitt and Glide
Compounded using Menzerna FG 400 x 2 = Lake Country Cyan Cutting Pad/Orange Hybrid Pad
Here's what I noticed about the new Menzerna FG 400 Compound...
Very long buffing cycle with very easy wipe-off.
Zero dusting with brand new pad, light dusting as spent product accumulates on pad.
Ability to cut aggressively like a compound and finish out like a polish.
