my new magic portion

To create a 100% swirl-free finish requires that you do everything you can to the best of your abilities to remove as many of the deeper defects from the finish as you can using a compound or cleaner/polish. Then using good technique, the correct pad and a finer polish, you re-polish the area and massage out any remaining haze or swirls from the first step

Just to note, achieving perfection on a painted surface will always be influenced by things like paint hardness and/or softness. The harder the paint, the more difficult it will be to massage out each and every defect, while very soft paints will be prone to marring or micro-scratching. There is a sweet spot for paint harness that gives you the best of both worlds, hardness for durability and resistance to deteriorating, yet soft enough that it can be successfully polished. This unfortunately is something you can't control..

Your point of origin, or reference must also be considered. If you start out with a finish that has gross swirls, as in deep swirls possibly instilled by running the car repeatedly through a mechanical car wash, or perhaps it was machine buffed using a wool pad and a compound that doesn't utilize diminishing abrasives, no polish or wax is going to be able to fill-in deep swirls like this and make the paint look good. So if by using a rotary buffer you can effectively remove the deep swirls, scratches, oxidation, etching, (or whatever the defects are), and create a finish that is 99% of the way swirl-free, then the difference between the condition of the finish you started with and the condition of the finish you have created will be dramatic

Great job as always KC. I am glad to see that you had great success with the Opt. Spray Polishes, as I will be using it on my detail comming up next week.:thumbup:

 

[imported_glfahlc]

i've used and like very much the optimum spray polish, if your cars are not badly swirled this stuff will remove minor rids and polish it to lsp ready in one step.... great time saver

You know I'm always a fan kc!

 

[hanmoto]

wow! great work

 

[imported_Woodie]

You had me confused with your opening picture of a Porsche that morphed into a BMW as the photos progressed.

Excellent work as usual and nice to see the Optimum Spray Compound in action. It hasn't hit our shores as yet so I only get to see it in action via the various detailing forums.
