I'm trying to buff out light swirl marks. I'm a little confused with the order to apply the following products and with which pad. I just purchased a entry level kit with PC7424 and 3 different pads (orange, white and gray). The products that I have is Mother's Clay Kit, Pinnacle XMT Swirl Remover 1 and 2, Poorboys Polish, and EX-P, Klasse AIO & Glaze, and Poorboys Natty wax. Any suggestions are appreciated.
 
Start off with the least aggressive pad, i'd tell you which one that is but i don't know as i use wool pads.

I would start with the Pinnacle XMT Swirl Remover 1 and if that don't work try stepping up to the next aggressive pad.

Then seal with the ex-p then wax with the nattys.

Please tell me if this is the correct order of product usage:
After XMT 1, then polish with poorboys with white pad
Klasse AIO with gray pad
Klasse Glaze with gray pad
Natty's by hand.

The XMT and SSR1 are about the same thing either one is what I would use with a polishing pad...I'm not sure of the pad colors and what they are...but I'm thinking the white is the polishing pad....From there you can go straight to Klasse Sealant the AIO IMO will not add that much to the surface if at all....I would apply the sealant by hand then head for the Nattys by hand

Thanks for the advice. I have another question, is there any difference in preparation on paint with a clear coat vs. paint without the clearcoat? Also would you recommend taping off the trim area while using XMT?

Not a lot difference in the two...using clay on single stage non-clear coated can be a hassle....what works best for me with that is a good light cut compound...with clear coats the clay is one that I always start with...as for taping if you are using a product that can cause stain on trim yes!...I find it a bit more time consuming but worth it in the end

Theres no need for 3 polishing stepes. your just making more work for yourself. Skip the poorboys polish.
 
Thanks for the advise, this is all very new to me and I appreciate all your opinions. For the glaze application, what is the difference between hand application over pc?
 
PC = more product used (pad absorption), slightly faster application, more even application for a single coat.

HAND = product used more efficiently, longer process (but, not more strenuous), two coats to ensure even coverage (but, you really want two coats anyway, right?)
