Battle plan for black BMW

I am planning on removing a lot of scratches and swirls from my car this coming week. I have the Sonus DAS kit, SSR 3, 2.5, 2, 1, AIO, and NXT paste.

I have taken out most of the major scratches with the orange pad and SSR 2.5 (even this took a lot of time). Now I need to remove the hazing and polish it up nice.

Should I use the SSR 1 with the green pad and AIO with the blue?

Is there an advantage to using the PC to apply NXT or should I do it right after the AIO since I only have one blue pad? :nixweiss



Once I have the NXT on, should I use the Sonus Acrylic Spritz since I have the AIO on, or should I be using something like Meguiars NXT QD since I have that on top?



Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks.
 
Go with 2.5 again but with the polishing pad before dropping down to 2, 1 or AIO. I haven't used any Sonus pads so the colors mean tell me nothing about them.



2.5 w/polishing pad, then AIO. If you are working 2.5 with a polishing pad until it clears you should be able to go straight to AIO then finish with NXT.



Yes, NXT is a bit better with a PC, IMO but it works just fine by hand too. Any QD should be fine.
 
I applied NXT paste by PC with a black Propel this weekend and it was a very nice process. I think I used too much NXT though.
 
Excellent. I assumed I needed to step down to a lower SSR before continuing with AIO.

So I will get more polishing pads and use them for the AIO and NXT.

Do you guys think the AIO and NXT layered will give me a good finish? I am considering ordering some SG as well.

Any recommendations on pads for the AIO & NXT? I have only used the DAS so far.
 
The car was repainted after an accident. From what I was told they used the same paint. The clear on it right now is pretty hard it seems, it takes some work with an orange cutting pad and SSR 2.5.
