Update: I got some of the Meguire's Aggressive clay and it worked great! Did the rest of the hood and the trunk in 20 min. Really worked great. 2008 Scion tC.

I stopped by one of the very very few...

OK will use the clay.

Any benefit in using the Iron X iron remover first? What will that buy me? Less stuff to remove with the clay?

What do you think of the 3D One product? Looks like it might...

If I use the 3D compound do I still need to use the clay? Trying to do as little as possible.

Mike - thanks for the personal message on this forum. Its a testament to your commitment that you would take the time to reply to my post personally. Wow. I am honored. I owe that mirror shine to you...

Oh and I didn't use the "swirl remover" I bought as I just wanted to practice with the least abrasive product until I'm really confident. Then I'll try to tackle removing some swirls.

Hello all, second post. My first was in the Intro forum. Here goes.

Been lurking for a while, reading, listening, reading, bought the iBook and loved it, bought a buffer, some pads, stuff. Lots of...
