Klasse Twins and swirls

So I have a black car, there's problem number one. Problem number two is that I'm quite anal about it, otherwise, I probably wouldn't be here, right?



My problem is trying to hide swirls while using the Klasse products. I recently used 1ZPP with a PC, then AIO, then SG. THere are still minor swirls, and as we all know, SG won't do much for them.



Here is what all I have.



Klasse Twins

Zaino (full line)

1ZPP

NXT

Gold Class

Souveran



I guess what I'm looking for is the equivalent to Z5 that I can use with Klasse topped with Souveran.
 
You just need to remove as many as possible before you apply your sealants/wax.



Z5 really doesn't do anything for scratches and swirls.
 
Yeah, the *real* answer is to do more polishing to really remove the marring, and then don't induce more.



Using a heavier wax (like Meg's #16) will help a little. The NXT is said to be good at concealing swirls, so maybe give it a try.
 
If you've still got swirls, then more polishing is the best option. You can fill the swirls, but after a few washes the fillers are removed, and the swirls are back. Unfortunately, black shows every little blemish. Fortunately, nothing looks as good as a well maintained black car - so the extra work is definitely worth it.



Sunday I just did the full routine (wash, clay, Griot's #3 polish w/PC-speed6, AIO w/PC-speed6, SG-WOO) on the black Benz, and the car is almost perfect. The Griot's #3 removed all of the swirls. There are still some deeper scratches remaining, but as this is a daily driver, with many more years of service expected, I'm not going to polish every single scratch down.



Maybe try DACP or SMR to polish the swirls, or you could simply try working slower, at a higher speed, with the 1Z.
