Re: 4 part prosses still has swirls?
Oh, btw, do not try to contact my cell by text or calling it when I'm at the ranch. ZERO CELL PHONE ACCESS!!!!! Joys of being up there in the hills away from everyone. If we are riding the horses, THEN I might be able to get "some" connection.

Okay. you are not going to be happy with me. I have to deal with my step-sister-in-law, and her family, today. We will be in downtown having lunch, and dealing with many other things, on the river walk. If you need to, I will have my cell with me, so, give me a call if needed. I'm at the Starbucks store here in Boerne this morning so I could have access to the internet. LOL Joys of staying at a ranch up in the hills.
Glad that you liked how YOU made your lil Mazda look and feel.

YES!!!!!! Anthony and I did our job. Trust me, you will be very happy having the Flex vs. the PC. Also, I'm sure you like using the Optimum products as well.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!

Re: 4 part prosses still has swirls?
Just to let everyone know, since we did not provide any of this information, I brought my Flex 3401 and a few other toys to San Antonio.
She made sure her Mazda was nice and clean. From there, I used my Flex 3401, at time or two, to show her how it works. From there, the job was all up to her. Here are the items I brought for her to use:
FLEX XC3401 VRG Orbital Polisher
http://www.autogeek.net/flex-polisher-kit-bag.html
Foamed Wool 6.5 x 1 Thick Polishing
http://www.autogeek.net/lc-foam-wool-pads.html
Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound
http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-mirror-glaze-105-ultra-cut-compound.html
Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer
http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-instant-detailer-17oz.html
We were only doing small sections at a time. She started on the hood, sides and roof. After she did the compound, I advised her NOT to remove the compound, 105, on the vehicle. I went over and sprayed the Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer onto the paint. After I did that then I had her remove everything from the paint. It all came out nice and smooth.
After we did the compound, 105, we did not do anything else on her RX-7. I had to get up and continue driving down the road to the ranch. I will have to look at my digital camera to see if I had taken any pictures of her vehicle. I also know she was going to take her Mazda over to Anthony to look at some other things.

Re: 4 Part Process Still Has Swirls?
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the follow up to add which Flex it was you were using as Flex also makes Rotary Buffers, in this case you were using the Flex 3401 Forced Dual Action Polisher.
So the paint correction was done using a rotary buffer but the rotary buffer also left in residual swirls.
Rotary Buffer Swirls
You switched the process by changing the action of the tool to a oscillating action and the swirls were removed.
Rotary Buffers are not evil tools but not all paint systems can be polished 100% swirl Free using ONLY a rotary buffer. Also, there's a steeper learning curve to becoming a skilled craftsman or craftswoman with a rotary buffer that is usually not attained after only a few cars. That's where using a combination of tools is a better option for swirl-free results.
Nice save Stephen.
