    It will likely require a medium compound and orange LC pad to remove.

    Fine looking reflection you got there. Nice work. What was the paint condition like prior to the detail? Did you have to remove any swirls? If so, what was your method.

    Welcome to the forum. Two posts I see.

    Thank You
    Car is a 2006, and being black you know it had swirls,
    method was
    1. clay
    2. Meguiars Medium Cut Cleaner- an old bottle I've had, PC/white pad
    3. Meguiars 205=PC/white pad
    4. some Nano wax I've had for a while, not sure where I bought it

    It's not perfect but I removed at least 90% of swirls

    Be careful what you ask for - especially with all of the tornados in the news recently.

    Great job on the wife's car btw!

    M205 is indeed a great product. Those reflections you captured are unreal. Love the thread title.
