I can understand the frustration with FedEx... I live 'between' two FedEx hubs and service from them here is terrible. If they arrive by 8pm it's a miracle - even on Early AM stuff. I wish we had...

I had fantastic luck with Sonax EX 04-06 on an orange CCS pad in fixing my Enclave... That stuff ROCKS!
Their Polymer NetShield is also super-easy to work with.

I just went through this on my Buick that got swirled out by a local body shop following PDR. In my case Sonax EX 04-06 on an orange Lake Country CCS pad nuked them completely in one step. This was...

Lol... McKee's 37 Hydro Blue.... Figured it would add substantial protection every couple washes with minimal effort....AND a detailing-on-the-go kit to keep in the back in the even someone (or...

Guys.... Thank you both. It means a lot.

At several points during the process I felt totally overwhelmed. However, I knew it was entirely up to me to get it right since I have no local...

An Update for anyone interested in hearing how this adventure turned out:
https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/110877-competition-ready-backyard-edition.html

Used the product last week for the first time... One word of caution: Be careful not to get it on your rims if they are factory painted clear coated. I had some drip onto a rim and dry and spent a...

First of all, I want to thank the forum members here for their helpful advice and recommendations. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I did if it wasn't for you, Mike and his how-to...

Can totally sympathize... I had a brand new vehicle swirled after a local body shop did PDR repairs. How can a place be so good with paint and then make it look like crap???

I invested in the...

I saw those... the Nano has a 1.25" and 2" backing plates. I realize the two inch would work but the smaller size would be a no-go - unless I'm missing something.

Recently purchased the nano and love it. However I'm not a huge fan of the cost or durability of the Rupes Nano pads. I've been trying to find what else is out there that works well with the Nano...

Agreed.... expectations need to be appropriately managed. It was actually recommended to me by the bodyshop at my local GM dealership.

From what I've read and seen myself, the invisibility of...

Yes... it's a single stage touch up. In my experience with it, by using multiple coats, I can get near flawless repairs using it as recommended (i.e. Without clear or sanding) as long as I buff and...

In using it on my vehicles it tends to go on 'thin' initially not fully hiding the chips. What I do is apply it today and go through the process then let it dry overnight. Then tomorrow repeat. ...

100% agree... Doctor ColorChip rocks! Totally invisible repairs but may take a couple of back-to-back 'treatments' to fully level the surface. It's pretty much idiot-proof and when polished just...

Thank you for the advice.

Based on the products I have which would be the most suitable:

Wolfgang TSR
Wolfgang Finishing Glaze
Wolfgang AIO

Sonax Easy Shine
Sonax EX 04-06

That combo isn't too aggressive for these panels??? They sure don't look like they have very much paint or durability to work with.

Yep... you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Might I ask which polish you used and if you did them by hand or machine? I so don't want to screw these up

Guys,

I have a 2017 Buick Enclave that through the course of repairing extensive hail damage received the body-shop induced swirl option.

I've got everything I think I need to fix the regular...

I've used Klean-Strip Prep-All (available at autoparts stores). It'll take it off usually for about a week if you use a microfiber towel with it. It doesn't hurt paint at all. After that, you're...

Thanks Guys....

Weather here sucks right now so I'll have to wait until it improves since I don't have a garage. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I'm in the southeastern corner (Ripley Co)... About 50 miles west of Cincinnati.

Are the Wolfgang products I purchased the correct ones to accomplish this task or do I need additional and/or different stuff?
