Got a used Flex with the Lake Country backing plate system and I wanted to try it out, so I decided to put it up to the test on my 1997' Mazda B2300. The truck's paint is trashed, and I induced swirls on purpose wiping it when dirty, etc just for fun.

I cut through all the swirls/scratches with a Lake Country 6" Yellow Heavy cutting pad and Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Followed that with Adam's Swirl and Haze, then Fine Machine Polish.
A few 50/50's
