Seeking compound suggestions for swirled out Nissan paint

I plan on compounding and polishing a Nissan Rogue, and want to remove most of the swirls & light scratches.
I am loading up my cart with compounds to try, plus I will be using MF pads.
I already have some products:
BF compound & polish (almost out)
AAT 3D (used it once)
Sonax Cutmax (used once)
S3 XXL (too dusty)
Pinnacle Advanced compound (never used ? )

Not enough experience and so many products !

Looking at :
Gyeon`s compound 4oz.
Boss Fast correction cream 16oz.
Jescar correcting compound 8oz.

:dunno:
:help::thanks

Thanks for all the advice
 
Boss Fast Correcting Cream with the Boss MF pads is the best combination I have found to date for compounding.

The Jescar product intrigues me as an option to try.

I also really like the Sonax polishes and recently picked up their Cut & Finish compound/polish to try (have not used it yet)...

SONAX Cut & Finish

If I needed a more "aggressive" cut, I would also not hesitate to try Sonax CutMax cutting compound...

SONAX CutMax Cutting Compound 250 ml.

Let us know what you end up using Mary!
 
Agree with BagRiv,

Griots Garage combo is incredibly good. On the right paint the FCC and Boss MF leave the paint LSP. And the FCC smells really good too. Like cake batter.

I cannot comment on Gyeon or Jescar compounds. But if Jescars compound is an improved version of Menzerna FG400, you should buy Jescar as well. FG400/HC400 is awesome and finishes down LSP on certain paints.

Only compound I haven`t been blown away with is 3D AAT.

I just used this combo on the <<<TA to take out a oil change instilled "dirty shop rag wipe down"

Perfect finish is just that. Great results and following up with Sonax PF after FG400 you don`t have to worry about fillers in PF, there is nothing to fill:)
 
Keep in mind that Nissan paint is THIN. Correcting swirls should be fine but be careful correcting RIDS with an aggressive combo.
 
Mary B- I`m not familiar with the products under discussion, but IMO the first step oughta be to determine whether you want Diminishing Abrasives or Non-Diminishing ones.
 
I`ve never played with Nissan paint, but if it is anything like Honda paint, a hearty polish and polishing pad should take care of those swirls. Anything *heavy cut* may be overkill for that clear coat.
 
Griot`s Fast Correct Cream and BOSS MF pads! Good cut, no dust, good wipe off, long working time, pleasant scent.

RaskyR1- Given all the different pad/product combos you`ve tried, that GG recommendation got my attention!

It`s been my go to combo for 99% of the compounding I`ve done since December 2014. It has the right balance of the things that matter most to me. You may find others that cut more but at the trade off of dust, more severe DA haze, difficult wipe off, ect... One thing I learned during the development of the BOSS liquids with Jeff is that it always seems be a trade off when trying to tweak a compound/polish formula. You try to improve one attribute and it ends up throwing off one (or more) of the other attributes. :)
 
Curious how this process went for you. I recently had the same issue with my Toyota 4Runner which i know i has soft thin paint which can be tricky to correct properly and without damage. My guess is others might be curious how we corrected our Japanese paint. Link removed. You may bring info to this site but you may not solicit Autopia members to your site.
