After getting the Speedy Prep Towel, I haven't broken out the clay bar. It's way faster!

Re: 2010 Volkswagen CC, Iron Gray Metallic
That color looks really fantastic.
And it looks like you finished the paint down beautifully.

Looks great! These CC's have hard clear so the Surbuf was the way to go for corrections.
P.S. for the record, the color of the car is more than likely Urano Gray. My CC (check avatar) is Iron Gray.

Re: 2010 Volkswagen CC, Iron Gray Metallic
Your right it was Urano Gray.
The CC's do have a very hard clear. When I was doing some test spots with the MF system the first pass came out very well. Then did a second section very fast with the MF system and it just didn't look the same. I tried another MF pad with M101 with a fast speed and it looked like nothing touched it. I can still see the swirls. Finally tried the Surbuf with M101 and it removed all the swirls, but it micromarred like crazy. That is extremely hard to see with the metallic paint, but you can tell with the haziness of the suns reflection on the paint. Finally went back to the Megs MF cutting pad with D300 and worked it in SLOWLY on speed 5 with the 7424XP! Regulated the Surbuf and M101 only for RIDS and minor scratches since the MF and D300 combo doesn't cut through the CC clear coat fast enough. But the Megs MF system right now is my preferred setup right now. I would say it's a must in anyones arsenal.
I also have Optimums MF cutting pad, but the first pad I used the edge of the pad separated within 1 panel of use and haven't tried it since.

I had a similar experience with an Orange Pad and both WGTSR and XMTSR1, 2 and 3. I figured I would move up to a yellow pad and since the Orange pad didn't make any progress I had it stuck in my mind that the yellow seemed to be overkill for ultrafine to fine swirls. So I am planning on moving to a MF pad system. My thought is Optimum and Menzerna but will now consider Megs MF system since FINALLY someone has more experience with the CC than me. :-)
