Review: Pinnacle Xmt#4
How would I discribe the new Pinnacle XMT #4 Heavy Duty Swirl Remover
I would start off by saying it is like liquid sand paper. And if you listen to the sound when you unscrew the cap, you can hear the abrasives. It has a peach type color, and smells like a compound. It does it's job and finishes down real well. I chose to use my new EDGE pads. I wanted to see what I was walking into. And went with the white polishing pad first, it worked. But it didn't hit some of the more deeper scratches. So I up'd it to the green edge pad.
Bingo that did it.
I did the hood and left side of with XMT4, working very slowly. Spending a few seconds in one spot at a time. Going back and forth, up and down, and any way else. I was very happy with the results, removed almost all the marks. And killed the water spots on the hood. Did about 95% removal. Working time was great, no drying out of product. I did mist the pad before each panel. I then used PB PwS on the other side of the pad, just to cover my butt. On the hood and left side. Then I had an idea, I mixed 1 part XMT4 and 2 parts PB PwS on the right side of the vehicle. It didn't work as good as the XMT4 alone. But it made that side go faster.
I was very impressed with the new XMT4, and will keep it in my arsenal.
It worked just like the bottle said it would. I did use a little too much product this time. I did 4 chic pea size dots, I will have to use 2-3 dots next time per panel.
I tried the DP Premium Surface Shield

To achieve excellence, excellence cannot be rushed. Technique is just as important as the product used.
While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.

Awesome review, really like the way you compared XMT #4 oh and specially on the color.
So one pass of XMT #4 and you got it to LSP ready? I thought that it would leave some scratches but I have used XMT #3 and almost every time I use it I've been able to get it to go straight to a LSP
Now I don't know if it's me but the picture showing the mix dosen't look that good, like I said not sure if it's just me though. oh never mind I just went and read your post again it's not just my eyes seeing things...very nice comparison.
Thank you for sharing, this is what I've been waiting for a very nice review thank you....oh yea nice mug shot hehehe
