Well, I tried a wierd combo after all my compounding/wet sanding/polishing (I even snuck some Menzerna 106ff in the polishing mix).
I did my usual 3M Ultrafina SE application, then power washed the excess from the car and dried. Instead of just using #26, I decided to add XMT 360 to the pad and work both products completely. Gotta say, it made a difference and buffing was virtually non-existent. The finish is smooth beyond my expectations.
Here's my starting Extra Cut Smiley:

Overall shot of the entire car.

I'm gonna try this combo on a "waiting-in-line" 2001 X5 4.4i (black of course).
