My only experience up to now has been with Meguiars products and the 7424 and a Makita rotary. I was able to get rid of swirls and scratches but have always felt that there was a slight hazing that I could not get rid of (on a black car) and the pads did not seem to hold up that well. I bought the Edge system from DetailMeister Jason this week with four pads. Last time I was there I got some XMT #1 Fine Swirl Remover. He said it should work, so naturally I ignored him.
However, today I tried that XMT #1 Fine Swirl Remover with the white Edge pad and it put that final j-eweling on the the finish I have been looking for. I think part of this was that I was able to go to 6 with the Edge system on the DA, whereas Meguiars does not recommend going beyond 5 with their pads (due to, I believe, heat transfer that damages the backing plate and pads). So hats off and thanks to Jason.
And so I have this questipn--on the Meguiars site they talk alot about how their products have "diminishing abrasives" --in other words, they breakdown as you work them. Is this so for the XMT and other products, Poorboys, etc. that I see advertised on AG? Anybody have another product/pad suggestion for that final j-eweling-up step.
