I would like to structure this post as a work in progress as this is all new to me. So at this point I will start out showing the swirls that I have on the car which appeared after the dealer's showroom glaze was washed away. I only polished the hood, so far, with Wolfgang total swirl remover. I am waiting for delivery of the Edge adapter and 4" pads for my Flex 3401. While I am waiting for my delivery please provide me with any feedback that you may have as I would like to correct anything that I may be doing incorrectly before I continue on the rest of the car.
I used a Lake country white smart pad with the total swirl remover
This photo show the level of severity of the swirls on the car. Fortunately this seems to be as bad as they get.

I think you are coming along very nicely, you are not going to be able to call yourself a newbie forever!!!

First, I think you're doing a great job! Lots of attention to detail and you've taped off the edge and high points.
Second, way to come out of the corner swinging! Starting out your first time with any machine on a daily driver grocery getter is one thing, starting out on your black Porsche is another!
Good job and your plan looks good so far!

Thanks for all of the kind words of encouragement. As far as attention to detail lets just say that if you knew my wife you would understand.
What do you think about using Menz 85rd as a next step prior to using the wolfgang finishing glaze. Do you thinkl I would derive any added benefit from using the 85rd?
From the inexperienced eye of the nubie the hood looks pretty good right now without even using the finishing glaze. Is the total swirl remover ever on it's own without the finishing glaze prior to sealant/wax applications?

It looks great Stu, now follow up with your 85rd and when the sun shines take out and admire your work. Plus this will give you your true results.
You need to clear your pm's.

Thanks for the compliments and thank you to all of the AG forum members who have helped make the learning curve as painless as possible for us first timers. I will continue posting to the thread as the job progresses
