I used a Flex3401 and a GG 3.5" orbital polisher with Orange, White, and Blue LC pads using Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover, Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish, and Pinnacle Sovereign liquid wax.
I spent several days working on the Notchback and had not yet read about the Meguires #7 and original single stage paint.
My orange pads with the advanced swirl remover and even my white pads with the finishing polish both had a good amount of removed paint. I did use a towel to clean the paint off the pads.
I had posted in another thread asking about Pinnacle Advanced Cleaner product as I was going to use it as the last step before the wax.
I did not apply the cleaner and went right to wax as was recommended and the wax alone did provide the smooth wet/shiny look I wanted.
I left the wax on for a few hours before I easily removed it.
So far this was the 6th time I machine polished and the 3rd time I machine polished correctly following the accepted guidelines and steps.
The Red Bug was my most improved work, but the Notch turned out well too.
I am still figuring out photo resizing and uploading but below is a Before, After and close up of the fender. Not much sun outside that day.
