In you opinion/experience, can you tell me whether or not swirls manifest themselves usually brighter than RIDS in your pictures? This is particularly interesting to me because I'm researching the...
After washing and claying, I’ve used Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound (UC) and Swirl Remover #9 for correction, then, I followed with WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer (WGPPE). I specifically liked the gloss...

I'm also new, but I plan to use the WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer, after Swirl removal and before the WG Paint Sealant 3.0. According to what I've research most of final look depends on the polishing...
By the way, I’ve got two quotes saying they will apply one coat of base color followed by 2 of clear coat. The third quote I got told me that was incorrect for a Basalt Black Porsche, for this...
